Ginger Skeleton Leaf Recycled Perspex 10mm Cuff Bracelet by Sue Gregor

This skeleton leaf perspex contemporary jewellery cuff is made using the skeleton leaves from a rubber tree. I collect, dry and press the leaves. Then heat the acrylic and press the leaves into the surface. I then use them as a stencil to apply the colours. The skeleton leaf is then peeled off to reveal the design. This is a method of dying and embossing plastic I developed myself. I call it 'fossilised ' due to the fine detail which it is possible to capture on the embossed surface, so they are similar to fossils.
