'Wax Caps' | Recycled Paper, Wire and Thread | 28cm x 28cm x 4cm | 2023.
 
Hygrocybe persistens are a relatively common wax cap that can be found throughout UK grasslands in the summer.
 
The fungi have been hand carved from old book pages and covered with recycled tissue paper to create the cap and gills. The stalk is made from paper mache and the whole thing painted with water colours to create a more realistic and vibrant colour.
 
The frames are handmade for each display from solid wood and glass. This particular frame has been made from Ash wood and lightly oiled. It has a wire on the back so it is ready to hang from a hook in the wall.
 
In order to keep your piece looking its best, hang it away from direct sunlight and avoid areas where there is a lot of moisture such as in a bathroom.
