This week's Oldies but Goodies Theme Challenge is ORGANIC. Go through your stash and post a picture in this thread that pertains to the theme. It can be something you made yesterday or something you made five years ago. We encourage you to post as many items as you want. Can't make it much simpler.
We hope to see a lot of creative pics of your ORGANIC jewelry.
We'd love to have more members participate in this easy, fun challenge. Won't you join us?
The Oldies but Goodies Challenges will last two weeks, so you have enough time to share your items! To make it easier, the end date is in the subject now.

These are two ginkgo leaf pendants I made. Textured Copper, one lacquered, one vitreous enameled. The shapes are from leaves from our ginkgo tree. The ginkgo leaf was a popular design element in the arts&crafts period of the early 1900s. Brad See above post. Sorry, trying to do this from phone. Argghhh. Brad

You are the queen of organic jewelry, Cat! I love all of these pieces and admire them. Of course the octopus will always be my favorite. 😄 Organic is a style I’m trying to put into my repertoire of art.
Brad I love the shape of ginkgo leaves. These necklaces are amazing.

Thank you so much, Michelle! Looking back on these, I think I should make more with my ammonites, but my thumbs won't tolerate more than wire crochet at the moment.
Brad, I love ginkgo leaves and they are still pretty popular, at least in jewelry. These are beautiful examples!
Michelle, I would love to see more organic jewelry from you. These two pieces have so much flow that I don't worry you are going to be struggling with the style!

Cat, my choice would be all of them, but for me to wear would be the top necklace. The bunny pendant is adorable too..hard for me to decide

Thanks so much, Cat! But my hands are not cooperating either. Maybe it will change for both of us at some point. 🤞🏻 I’ve got a bowl full of cabs. I miss it.
Oh Irith, these are all lovely organic pieces. I’d wear any of them in heartbeat. I think the gold (or brass?) earrings are the most unusual. Very elegant.

Cat, you definitely have your own special style - I love all the colorfulness. Irith, I think you meant to say Michelle in this one. Your pieces fit the challenge perfectly and my favorite are the new earrings, so pretty!
