Taiwan Souvenir – Sweet Olive Leaves

Sweet olive native to Taiwan, therefore, it was cultivated as an ornamental plant in my garden. The leaves are long and broad, with an entire margin. Four leaves with stem were turned into their corresponding silver sculptures. To enhance the nobility, these silver leaves were palladiumized. As shown in the following pictures, these noble silver-leaves are nice Taiwan souvenirs.

Golden Taiwan – Taiwanese Souvenir

Golden sculptures of Taiwan-island shape were created by using gold foils and gold particles. Instead of grains, gold foils can reduce the bulk density of the sculpture.

Noble Silver Art

The silver leaves we made are tarnish-free at my office for more than two years. In order to enhance the tarnish resistance of our silver leaves, a new way to increase the gold fraction on the silver-leaf has been developed. This new way could probably give a better tarnish-resistance result. We elaborate silver leaves without chemicals. Our silver-leaves contained only silver and gold, as shown in the following pictures, the created silver ginkgo-leaf should be a noble silver art.
