These Contemporary Perspex earrings are made using the actual fern leaves. They are made using my own method of dying and embossing plastic which I call fossilized Plastic due to the fine detail which it is possible to capture on the embossed surface so they are similar to fossils. I collect dry and press the actual leaves and then heat the Perspex and press them into the surface to emboss. Then I use another heat process to apply the colours using the leaf like a stencil. I then peel off the leaf. The edges are faceted and hand polished.
