I believe this is a casting process, not a plating process = put leaves in a
mold, heat and shake out ashes, pour in moltan metal - but perhaps someone
else has done this - you can also spray on a conductive paint and then plate
them

Sorry to jump in here without any history in the group, but does
anyone know if the process to make leaves permanent (veins of real
leaves are made semi-transparent through a filigree process-they are
dipped in liquid metal and every leaf vein becomes visible) is one of
those dangerous-chemical-bath-metal-process things that the ordinary
lay crafter can't do at home?

If anyone has knowledge or experience of this process, I'd appreciate
some input here in this group. Thanks!
