Our FAQ on plating on organic material is at least a starting point, Tracy. Good luck, and thanks for the photo.

Very interested in learning to do this... As a hobby at first, but possibly as a future business. If you have the equipment, materials and/or knowledge regarding this process, please contact me. Thanks!
