Fall Leaf Jewelry

It's getting close to that time of year. The leaves are all still green, but it's a deeper green than in early summer. The mornings are cooler, the air is dryer, and there's a feeling that autumn is just around the corner. This, of course, means it's time to make some jewelry using leaves before they fall, curl, and turn brittle.
I picked some of the smallest leaves off the trees in our yard to act as "stamps", and used mica powders to create the pendants shown here. Fun, doesn't take a lot of clay or equipment, and lets you enjoy the leaves long after they've left the trees.
