Melting leaf

Lead has a low melting point so is one of the few metals it is easy to work with in the studio.

The start of this was well-timed as the raw materials needed were springing up form the ground and falling from the sky; fungi and leaves.

Beech leaf. Every vein and flaw shows up beautifully.

Like a gift, the ground has been strewn with everything needed to get started. A surprisingly good supply of small fungi has also meant many lovely reproductions. Next is to mount them and start designing a display.
