Leaf Examiner

This brooch was the next in my series of natural elements in my work. the base is copper with photo etching, arms are twisted copper wire with alligator clips, and a cheap magnafying glass. i purposfully made the leaf look deteriorated so you could see through it to the etching to give it some more interest. The thought behind this was to show nature more in depth, to see it on a smaller scale while showing humans need for science.
