Where does your inspiration come from?

I find everything in nature very inspiring, especially when it comes to replicating it in metal.  This new Maple Leaf Cuff is my latest creation.   This cuff shown here has an oxidized-polished finish.  However, I hope to make one that resembles a vibrant maple leaf with a red-orange heat patina finish.
I hope to experiment with many more flowers and foliage in the coming year.
