Ethnobotany pendant

This pendant is part of a collection entitled Ethnobotany, which is inspired by Emma's research into the relationship between people and botany and the traditional uses of plants to heal individual organs. Emma made the pendant using the lampworking technique. By melting, flattening and pulling borosilicate glass on the torch, individual sections were created and then assembled when hot into a whole piece. The transparency of clear glass has been intentionally maintained to heighten the organic ecosystem within, while adding a little colour to some petals made each one unique.
