Pyramid orchid

A unique botanical sculpture of the Pyramid orchid (Anacamptis pyramidalis), which has a single flower spike, basal leaves and roots. Annette has accurately reproduced the plant in size, structure and colour. Handmade using traditional wax modelling techniques from beeswax, paraffin wax, mixed media and finished with acrylic paints and varnishes. It is then mounted on a circular, solid, custom lathed stainless-steel base, inside a hand-blown glass orb cover.
