Description of your entry:
I love the beauty of common plants that are often overlooked. This piece, showing a patch of nettles against a forest floor of fallen leaves, is hand engraved and enamelled in woodland tones. A microscopic view of the nettle stem is shown in the inset recess. This was textured using burrs to mimic the cell shapes and to provide a textural contrast to the engraving.
