Ginkgo Leaf Fossil – Silver on Stone

We drew a ginkgo leaf on a stone by using silver metal. Owing to the strong adhesion between silver and stone, hence we could not separate the silver by knife. The thickness of silver is around 0.2 to 0.4 mm. Therefore, as shown in the following picture, the silver sculpture is a ginkgo leaf fossil.

Porcelain Painting – Silver Embossment

In addition to the versatile advantages of regular porcelain paintings, our works are silver embossments. As shown in the following picture, the thickness of silver embossment is around 0.2 to 0.8 mm. Some parts of the silver embossment were blackened by palladium metal.

Porcelain Painting – Taiwanese Souvenir

Porcelain painting is a very popular technique. Instead of regular pigments, only silver, gold and palladium were used in our porcelain painting, resulted in a very special embossment. As indicated in the following picture, a porcelain painting of vase was obtained by using only noble metals. It is a very beautiful Taiwanese souvenir.

A Small Maple Leaf

Maple tree was planted in my garden. In contrast to regular size, a small maple leaf was turned into its corresponding silver sculpture by using only 3.2 grams of silver. The silver leaf was put into a glass bulb, as shown in the following pictures, a better performance was obtained.

Three Silver Leaves.

Each leaf is unique, hence my silver-leaf is also unique. Three leaves of Taiwan-Wild-Grape were turned into their corresponding silver sculptures, as shown in the following pictures, these silver-leaves are framed to demonstrate the unique of my silver-works.

My Silver leaves

Tarnish is a big problem to my silver leaves. Free of chemical treatment, hence only more noble metals could be used to reduce the tarnish of our silver works. As shown in the following pictures, therefore, both of gold and palladium were added to enhance the tarnish-resistance of my silver leaves. Real noble silver leaves.

Noble Silver Leaf

Study chemistry more than 40 years, hence I do not like any chemical or base metal in my silver-leaf work. Without chemical, base metal, and plating, only gold, palladium, and rhodium were used to prevent tarnish from our silver leaf. As a result, as shown in the following pictures, this silver leaf is made of noble silver and noble gold.
