Hello! I am Nedda Angelina, the artist and jewelry designer of Enchanted Leaves. I draw inspiration from the green landscapes of California's costal forests, where I gather organic materials to craft unique jewelry that immortalizes the beauty of the natural world.
Through the intricate electrochemical process of copper electroforming, I create designs combining copper and natural elements, along with various materials like gemstones, crystals, glass, metals, wood, ceramic, and polymer clay. See my current projects and works-in-progress on my instagram.
I am proud and honored to say that my jewelry creations have found homes all over the world (in 6 of the 7 continents!), been showcased at local independent design and craft festivals, and featured in boutique and gift shops across the United States and Canada.
When not creating jewelry, you'll often find me engaged in various forms of art- be it painting, sculpture, illustration, or photography. Perhaps you remember my works as a former fantasy artist from the early 2000's?
My love for nature extends beyond my craft, as I also enjoy gardening, mushroom foraging, bug hunting, and leaf & flower specimen collecting. (I love discovering what plant clippings I can root!) 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 Paper.
While my heart lives among the towering giants of the California Coastal Redwood Forest 🌿, I currently reside in sunny Southern California with my two mischievous sibling feline companions, Sierra & Sequoia, the notorious sock thieves!!
A heartfelt appreciation goes to the talented Mike Smith of MicroDean Systems, whose contributions have been instrumental in shaping the Cu Electroforming project.
