I've got some nice big copper oak leaves that I've been making into talisman-like pendants. The leaves are my design, well nature's design, about 4 inches long from the top of the stem loop to the bottom of the leaf. You may click on each picture for more details.

I have a local friend cut them with his computer aided plasma cutting system. This is my first time to have non-ferrous (copper and bronze this time) metals plasma cut and there are size limitations. The surfaces are more rugged, as the plasma cutter sort of burns away the cut lines. Of course I like the way that looks. Smaller shapes and other metals will still need to be sawn by hand.
I had to have one of the oak leaf pendants for myself. I like large bold pendants on long 24 inch endless chains that slip easily over my head with no clasps.
I am finally starting to own a nice selection of my own jewelry!
Oh I so miss oak trees! Your jewelry is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful! They'd make wonderful pins too.
ReplyDeleteI like your look here.
