Made a pair of earrings for a friend.

The maple seeds were dried, coated with graphite lacquer and then electroplated with copper. After rinsing an electroless silver plating was applied. I soldered a small eyelet to the tops and attached the hooks.

They have been worn for a few weeks now and still look good as new!

Another plant part immortalized in metal.

This time it's a birch leaf brooch made from a dried leaf I electroformed with copper and then silver plated.

To make it wearable I soldered a nickle plated safety pin to the back.

Here's a photo of the back with the safety pin. The solder stuck really well to both the silver and the nickel (as was to be expected). The big fillet hopefully provides the necessary stability.

Am I the only one who thinks the color makes them look like insect wings?
