This tutorial shows how to create a Leaf Textured ring using silver metal clay and a skeleton leaf.

BY BUYING THIS TUTORIAL, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT:

1) It's NOT OK to copy or teach or create a tutorial or content based on another artist's design without that artist's authorization. Don't use other people's content without permission!

2) It is ILLEGAL to do mass purchasing of tutorials with the intent of sharing with others; sharing the cost of downloaded tutorials with others whether they are members or not, or soliciting others to purchase tutorials that they have purchased.

3) Be careful with what you say about another person's work, or you could be accused of defamation.

BOTTOM LINE: Do NOT share tutorials. If the design is not yours, before creating a tutorial, get permission from the original artist first. They may not want to teach or not be inclined to write a tutorial, so you could strike a collaborative deal together.
If you are in doubt as to who the original artist is, it is probably best to find a different project to work on.

What is "Substantial Similarity"?

Sometimes artists create similar items or pieces inspired by other artists. To determine if a piece has substantial similarity, try this test:
Ask an unbiased, ordinary observer (a person who is not familiar or exposed often to jewelry design) if they could recognize one piece as being appropriated from the original.
Simply changing the construction or the color of a bead is often not enough. If both pieces look similar to an ordinary observer, then they are too similar - do not proceed.
To fall under the category of "Substantial Similarity", a piece must be considered in its entirety. Certain individual elements of design are considered "public domain" for their generic nature. Therefore, certain elements or techniques do not fall under the scope of Substantial Similarity.
