I had malachite inlay in better days...
2" from top of stem to leaf tip.
As only the silver mount remained, I went for a new interpretation :-)
I bought a parcel of different cuts peridot melee and another of multicolor tiny sapphires.
I filled the leaf with white polymer clay, buffed with silver effect wax, then stuck in my stones, bottom up for sparkling.
Cooked the whole thing in oven 30 minutes at 110 degrees Celsius.
Et voilà ! Today was a kyratisation day!!!
Wow Kyra, that certainly is a rebirth, it's beautiful.
Ha, Jean, thank you! I feel as a kind of Dorrie Nossiter now ;-)
It looks stunning! Beautiful and very skillful work, Kyra!
Wow!! BEAUTIFUL work Kyra!!!! You are definitely magic!!!
Anna, Scott, I'm very grateful for your so nice comments... This is basically as cooking a (tiny!) Pie ;-D
