How cool is this necklace by ACC Jewelry Department instructor Martha Soto? 😃 She took real grape leaves and cast them into silver! 🔥✨😍 Martha is teaching an introductory casting class this Spring on Saturdays, from 10:30am to 3:50pm. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn to bring your own ideas to life through casting. 🔥🔥🔥 Martha also has an event coming up that you won’t want to miss — check her bio for more info! 😊 #Repost @ginasotojewelry with @make_repost ・・・ These are baby Texas Native grape leaves from my backyard. I cast several before finally finding, "the one", baby grape leaf. Then molded the silver leaf casting so I could make the same one over and over to create this necklace. Each one is carefully soldered and finished to a polished surface. Made of non-tarnish sterling silver. . . . #JewelrybySoto #Flourish #thehiveartfoundation #beecavetx #beecavestx #beecavesart #austintexas #austintx #austinartist #austinart #austinlocalbusiness #austinlocal #silverjewelry#handcraftedjewelry #customjewelry #sterlingsilverjewelry #silverjewelry #sterlingsilver #silver necklace #sterlingsilvernecklace #necklaceforsale #necklacelove #floraljewelry #grapeleaves #texasgrapes #naturaljewelry #nativetexasplants #womenartists #womenover60 Check out the link to our upcoming show at the Bee Caves Art Foundation in my bio!
