Hello! I am Nedda Angelina, the artist and jewelry designer of Enchanted Leaves. I draw inspiration from the verdant landscapes of California's forests, where I gather organic materials to craft unique jewelry that embodies the beauty of the natural world.
Through the intricate process of electroforming—a fusion of chemistry and electricity—I breathe life into my designs, blending earthy elements with an array of mediums including gemstones, crystals, glass, metals, wood, ceramic, and sculpted polymer clay.
I am proud and honored to say that my jewelry creations have found homes both near and far, been showcased at local independent design and craft festivals, and featured in boutique and gift shops across the United States and beyond.
When not crafting jewelry, you'll often find me immersed in various art forms—be it painting, sculpture, illustration, or photography through www.Heart-String.com. My love for nature extends beyond my craft, as I indulge in pursuits like gardening, mushroom foraging, bug collecting, and leaf specimen hunting. And of course, you'll often find me revisiting the heroic adventures in Middle Earth, the whimsical magic Hogwarts, or the clever antics at Dunder Mifflin.
Residing in Southern California, though my spirit dwells among the towering giants of the Redwood Forest 🌿, I share my home with two mischievous sibling feline companions, Sierra & Sequoia, known for their penchant for pilfering socks.
A heartfelt appreciation goes to the talented Mike Smith of MicroDean Systems, whose contributions have been instrumental in shaping the Cu Electroforming project.
