japanese knotweed seed and brass silver circle necklace
All items are handmade and are one of a kind from foraged wild and domesticated plants. I collect whatever is in season on my daily walks, usually in the Philadelphia area. The composition of my pieces range from traditional (using whole, pressed flowers and leaves) to more abstract. Each piece involves laying jewelry-grade resin in several layers, over several sittings.
30mm long and 30mm wide .925 sterling plated circle, black backed, overlaid with Japanese knotweed seeds and accented with brass. Knotweed was one of the first plants I started with on my journey as a botanical artist: I had a lot of strong feelings about it that I had to work through, and now I'm fascinated with everything about the plant: its unrelenting fortitude, its depthless taproot, its bounty of nectar, pollin, and forage, and its design. Remember: we were the ones who planted it in the first place, and we still have a lot to learn from it.
Finished with an 18 inch long silver plated chain with lobster clasp.
