large plaque necklace: hellabore
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.
3 inch wide and 2.5 inches long wide coated shiny brass plaque overlaid with a single hellabore (lenten rose) bloom. In the first couple of years of resining, I specialized in layering liquid resin on top of flat shiny brass cutouts. Daunting, but worth the look: the golden glinty background perfectly highlights the qualities and details of the botanicals. I don’t make this style anymore, but I still have an Icelandic seaweed piece that I wear often. There’s something about a shiny statement piece on your chest that gives confidence.
