Maple seeds – Earrings

Helikoptertjies

I used to play with these as a child. And if I am being honest- i still do. The thrill of throwing them up in the air and watching them helicopter down, kept me engaged and amazed for hours. If you came across these at some point, you will know exactly what I mean. What makes the piece so special, is that it is real. The little seed still sits at the core of the piece as it has been encased with copper and then sealed.
