Silver PMC Leaf...

Here's a really cool piece that my wife made with silver PMC slurry.  A while back, we took a course on how to use silver PMC to make interesting shapes that would be practically impossible to make any other ways.   This is an excellent example of this.

My wife picked a leaf out of our garden and very patiently applied something like 20 thin coats of PMC slurry.

During the Christmas break I finally got the time to install a proper fan above my welding/soldering area in the shop.  We were finally able to fire the piece.  After pickling and some deburring, this is what the leaf looks like.  It turned out to be rather heavy (solid silver after all).  It will make an interesting brooch or pendant.
