Preserved Pods

The next series using this process was The Seed Project. This idea
was sparked by reading about the world-wide effort to save native

seeds by storing them in seed banks. After the pouring and cooling
process, I picked the wax up, and warming it with my hands, I
sculpted it into fantasy seed pods, sometimes adding actual seeds
embedded in the pods. I then wound them with gold wire

representing alchemy so that someday they would be worth their
weight in gold, as I think the world has found this fact to be true.
