Gold Leaf Creations


I've been having a marvelous time working with various kinds of gold leaf embedded in resin!  The metallic colors reflect the light in interesting ways, and I've enlarged the tree silhouettes I use in the pendants to create idealized scenes in nature. This piece is 6 inches round and has four layers of resin, with flecks of gold leaf and birds placed on different levels.

For years I've been attempting to capture the unearthly colors saturated in light that I experienced in a single meditation. That one glimpse of the subtle realms made an indelible impression and has been a source of artistic and spiritual inspiration for years!
