Portfolio Example & Materials Statement
Leonard Gene

Silversmithing is my passion. I create sterling silver jewelry and assortment of containers. All is done with the technique of Navajo traditional stamp-work and some overlay. I also do the leather work including bolo cords, purse handles and belts. All of the steel stamps used to create designs were made by me. I use turquoise, coral, and shells to complete my designs.
