I've recently added a series of five new pieces to my Etsy Shop involving heat textured (reticulated) sterling silver leaves, sometimes combined with tiny center drilled keishi pearls in a silvery white. After finding the pearls at a bead show, I wanted to create a background in silver for them, something that would make it a tone-on-tone piece. Achieving the texture (which always varies) involves gradually building up a layer of fine silver on the surface of the leaf shapes- so they're extra bright and shiny, and extra polishing in my tumbler seems to add depth to the patterns created by the heat.

It is really fun loiokng at the way you use fengle. I love how it cascades down in 2 and 3. The top one sort of reminds me of a desert garden! Well done!
