Foliage Inspiration

Silver Dragon’s Treasury Picks

I love trees; always have. I even remember staring at them from a classroom window instead of taking notes in elementary school. Here are a few pieces apparently equally inspired from verdant foliage.
Coquis and Foliage Wood Carving You be astounded by this framed carving by Susana Caban. I certainly am. It’s beautiful.

Light in the Forest by Impressions Gallery. Unusual jewel colors make this work stand out.

My Grandma’s Lilacs – Sterling Silver Earrings by Strands of Light. Sweet leaves and tiny glass flowers dangle gracefully and prettily. These are unusual and lovely.

Band of Leaves is a bead woven bracelet by LaBellaJoya. The technique is a Russian Leaf stitch and this is a perfect use of the stitch. The artist is a fellow member of the Etsy Bead Weavers Street Team.

    I’ve always loved being around nature. You’ve chosen some beautiful pieces.

    Thank you. I’ve always found nature to be my strongest inspiration. :)

    I LOVE the leaf bracelet. And I’m Russian too (well, part Russian). Is there anywhere that you know of that has a tutorial for this stitch?

    I learned it from a Russian language beading book. It’s possible a web search can find something. Or you could wait for my next tutorial to come out this Summer.
