This is still my favourite thing I've ever electroformed. I love how this Ivy leaf turned out, with the leaf veins still visible and the colour it turned once oxidised.
Hoping to make more of these, but must remember to leave them in a little longer next time so a thicker copper coat builds up.
This piece was one of two experimental pieces as I was learning to incorporate resin with my electroforming process. This is a real hemp leaf preserved in resin and copper plated with a borosilicate glass cabochon adornment. This and its sister piece are both one of a kind, available for purchase at NatureBoneStudio.com 🌿✨ . . . . . #electroformedjewelry #hempleaf #potleaf #realleafjewelry #glassart #multimedia #copperleaf #ooakjewelry #stonerwitch #headypendant #naturebonestudio #resinart #darkboho #handmade #borosilicate #electroformedglass #naturelovers #stonerjewelry #420 https://www.instagram.com/p/CisYdFyuTDS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Hello! I love your work. I can't remember what it's called when you use metal and other stuff with the stones? Like when you had those leaf and gem pieces awhile back. It kinda looks like you dipped them liquid metal. Sorry, I'm describing this poorly but I'm really fascinated by the process!
Hello! Thank you so much!! That’s called electroformed jewelry. I am working on more and I am hoping to have a new collection ready for fall 🍃🍂🥰
I was able to get a chunk of stuff done last night, though only a few pieces will be done for the weekend event.
I "built" 4 more pieces last night - a new, bigger racoon jaw necklace, a gingko leaf pendant, an amethyst point pendant, and skull moth w/crystal pendant. Still need to do some more reinforcing/sealing and all of the conductive paint, but...yay getting things made?
Both electroforming baths are currently running, and two more pieces should be ready for the baths when the current pieces are done. (This is all on top of the 4 pieces that are already finished, but need to be sealed.)
A wee nod to the works of J M Barrie and Peter Pan with this lost and found necklace assemblage. At the centre is a broken brooch that I've turned into focal point for this story telling pendant. From the base of the middle leaf is a real acorn that I have electroformed, silver plated and painted in alcohol inks which nestles next to the tiny thimble with the words "For A Good Girl". After Wendy has sewn Peter’s shadow back on she states that she would like to give him a kiss. He holds out his hand and she places a thimble in it. When Peter says he’ll give her a kiss, he drops an acorn into her hand. There are other hidden meanings in this necklace too that nod to J M Barrie's other works - I wonder if you can spot them? . . . #peterpan #jmbarrie #wendyandpeter #acornandthimble #thimbleandacorn #birdsnest #tinkerbell #captainhook #tinykey #silvercoin #victoriansilvercoin #silvertwopence #thimblenecklace #assemblagejewelry #lostandfound #acornnecklace #thimblenecklace https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfmc5wTtgnM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I have had some fun electroforming the fall leaves! This one is accented with moonstone and wire weaving. It's waiting for you! Every eform piece is one of a kind, just like the leaves inside. 🍂🍁🍂 . . . . #eform #electroformedjewelry #electroform #leaves #leaf #autumn #fall #moonstone #rainbowmoonstone #copperwirejewelry #copperjewelry #copperlove #autumnjewelry #autumnleaves #roycroftcampus #roycroft #eastaurora #smalltownlife #smallbusiness #womeninbusiness #workingartist #supportsmallbusiness #shoplocal #noxcorvum (at Roycroft Campus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGuux6eB8Zs/?igshid=kpf2lrsovrps
Last night I went to the monthly group meeting for the Photosynthesis Project. We are a group of professional artists and writers using photosynthesis as inspiration for our artwork. We meet each month to discus texts, images, and works in progress. In November we will display our artwork in a group exhibition. It is such an inspiring project, and I plan to talk more about it in the coming months. Please let me know of any inspiring texts you may know that are centered around plants. I am going to set aside some time to read every day—something that has been difficult to do after having babies. I need to immerse myself in some inspiration, so it is time to make time. . . . . #plants #photosynthesis #leaf #leaves #trees #gardening #plant #sculpture #electroforming #beeart #bees #leafart #leafframe #painting #mixedmedia #drawing #watercolor #gilding #copper #gold #gilded #gildedart #the100dayproject #my100daysofwritingsomething https://www.instagram.com/p/BtmHB3_hkVm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y22gsr1ljxy0
We’re launching a series of electroplated jewelry from leaves and other natural objects. Electroplating was provide by my very talented and amazing creative partner, while I assembled the finished jewelry pieces
Colours of Autumn - real hawthorn leaf in rainbow patina with coral beads
Closer look at the Labradorite leaf pendant I made👀
This piece took me 11 hours to make from start to finish mainly because; all electroformed jewelry is hand sculpted!
These are only made when I’m in the right headspace/in a meditative state. Every order is cleansed with sage and set with the utmost positive intentions before shipping to the buyer!❤️
