This large pendant contains the petals from a preserved chrysanthemum. And this beauty contains the petals from a geranium: Stay tuned for more additions to my…

I can’t get away from the autumn leaves, though my stores of preserved ones are getting woefully low :( However – I had enough for a few last pieces in my autumn leaf series and I think these are my most beautiful and romantic items yet. This lariat style necklace is made with a copper…
