Yesterday I took my first silversmithing class and I'm hooked! This oak leaf is my very first piece, and I'm not sure yet what it will become. I'll be taking a connections class next, so perhaps will turn it into a pendant after I learn more. I am very interested in translating nature into jewelry.A couple of years ago I took a metalsmithing class and made this Ruthenian Crown out of copper and tin. It was torch soldered, so I already had some experience with the torch.
I'll be posting more as I learn!

That's fantastic! Is it a real leaf? I'm not familiar with the process, but it looks it! There are so many beautiful articles found in nature. Not sure how large your leaf is, but it would be pretty as a charm on a silver bracelet, too!
It would make a beautiful pin. Very nice work.
That oak leaf is lovely. What a cool class.
beauty full!
Wow - very nice!
