Here are a few more of the silver pieces I have been working on:  This piece the stone I cut didn't fit in the bezel I attached so we filled it with the Pearlx epoxy there is a mounted blue topaz at the bottom but hard to see in the photo, I dipped and removed all the patina except in the on area.  Gingko leaf with moonstone cab  another leaf  Gingko with adventurine cab and jasper beads  Concord grape leaf  Spearmint leaf this thing cracked now it is lopsided, LOL  Seed pods, I like these I need fall to come to collect pods  Seed pod  Cooper Beech leaf  ginko with swavorski crystals  Fiber optic cats eye with cat's eye beads  Orange fiber optic  Pendant that I set with cat's eye and fired, glass is suppose to be able to take the heat, but alas not and now baby shit green stone! The other cat's eyes I attached after firing.  Boulder Opal and peach moonstone  My first ring, can't really see detail on here, but I am pleased it is just too big the shrinkage is a problem, I actually wanted this to shrink more. This is special, Tony made me this Sterling silver piece for our 2 year anniversary! One of his doublets, it is almost 3" tall, and on the back he inscribed it! I love it! Thank you honey!  Amber |

You are on a roll. All look super. Especially like the second one with the moonstone cab. Very nice work.

Ditto with what everyone said! It's very cool how you are able to capture the leaf so perfectly with the metal clay then pair it to the stone.

Wow, these are all great! You are doing some really cool things with the leaves and I see someone has been to the bead store ;-) lol.
I'd say the first one is my favorite I like how you set the stone and like the shape of it too. The beach leaf and the BO with moonstone are beautiful too so guess they'd be my choice for second and third place (that is if you were having a contest ..lol). Tony did a great job on the anniversary gift. Thanks for posting the picture of it.

Wow!! Wow!!! Give you a little schooling and you go crazy  You two are going to make a fortune at the shows. I love the first one, but they are all great. You are such a smart lass...if you ever get tired of Tony (two years Is a long time) you can come take care of me, and you know I need it more than him, lol. When Bobby goes off to all these exotic places you ought to send some of this work with him to sell to all the posh folks he rubs shoulders with T |
