Electroformed copper is a specialised process that uses electric current to deposit thick layers of copper onto conductive surfaces, including non-metallic items like crystal, leaves or plastic, to create durable, detailed and artistic three dimensional objects.
Botanically known as samaras, these aerodynamic seed wings, allow them to spin and drift, much like helicopter blades, helping them travel far from the parent tree, most often a variety of Maple.
The woody catkin, like little pine cone, is gold plated. These are the female fruit of the Alder tree.
