This beautiful, one-of-a-kind sand-casted art piece was created by TFS parent, Christine Alt of Silver Hill Studio.
Christine provides unique sand-cast pieces made one at a time using a live leaf to create an impression. The piece is cured cure before removing the wilted leaf, then begins the process of layering watercolor washes to complete a one-of-a-kind, realistic botanical piece of functional art.
As a multidisciplinary artist, Christine enjoys working with mortar, handmade clay, and gilding unique pieces of art. "I hope to inspire others to see natural objects as both functional and art for your special spaces at your home."
For this particular piece, the leaf used was a juvenile Colocasia Esculenta (Elephant Ear).
This piece can be displayed indoors or outdoors (it is sealed with a marine sealant). If used outdoors, it is best to bring in during freezing temperatures (or turn leaf upside down to empty any water to keep it protected from cracking).
Size: 14"x10"
