Argentium sterling silver landscape pendant chain necklace for women

One of my pieces where I applied mixed metals techniques. This sterling silver pendant necklace was inspired by the Northern Scandinavia winter landscapes. The pendant was composed from a hand sketch and made of different type of recycled silver. The base plate, all fine details, the moon and the trees are composed of Argentium sterling silver 935 and snow hills are made of fine silver 999. The pendant is attached to long and heavy sterling silver 925 chain. The chain is handmade by me as well.

Fall themed northern Nature close up macro Photography - Lichens, Mushrooms and Moss

The snow is starting to fall all over Sweden so I guess the winter is almost here and I should enjoy the last days of Fall and all the things that comes with it. One of my most favorite things about any season is different opportunities in nature for macro photography. So here is a selection of shots that I took last fall in Northern woods of Sweden. I just love the way Mushrooms, Lichens, Moss and pine needles look together, like tiny little Fairy gardens :)

and don't they look pretty together on a wall? :)

The scientific names of some of the species you can see on the pictures are: Cladonia cristatella (British Soldier Lichens), Cladonia fimbriata (Pixie cup Lichens), Cladonia rangiferina (Reindeer Lichen), Hebeloma mesophaeum, etc...
