Here are some pieces I've made, I can't wait to keep learning and testing mixing natural materials with metals! If you have any resources or even books I can utilize to keep growing, I'd love to hear recommendations 🌿 Everything shown is in brass, but I've worked with sterling silver as well. Teeth from animals, porcupine quills and stones are featured (along with some brass finger nails, because why not haha!)

Oh, no, it's a brass cuff, laid on a really cool lichen-covered branch. The tooth is what's set on the brass cuff. Hopefully that makes sense!

You did really nice, you should give copper a shot too it's a really fun metal to work with and there's some really cool patina choices
