Related: About this forumTrying to find out what material was used here to create this texture
I'm working on a project that needs small ginko leaves, and found these earrings online.
I can recreate the leaves from soda bottle plastic, but don't know what this artist used to create the small raised lines on the leaves. It appears to be some kind of light green thick clear liquid piped on in very thin lines.
Does anyone have any ideas on what that liquid/application tool might be?

(35,159 posts)something like Mod Podge Dimensional Magic? It comes in a small bottle with a small tip opening. I have used it for jewelry projects before.

(32,640 posts)This is PET plastic, and looks like it has been shaped with heat prior to the lines being added.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Looking at those ginko leaves...the lines look like little trenches, like it's been "plowed". Of course, I've got bifocals that I can't see thru half the time...

One was a holiday wreath with ice blue "tentacle/icicles" made from Pinnacle vodka bottles, with led lights underneath.
The other was a sconce modeled after this one, using plastic from dark blue and clear vodka bottles:
