  • Crafting this wonderful geode mushroom scene demanded meticulous attention and time, taking approximately 10 hours to bring to life.
  • Hand-cracked and carefully chiseled away, these wonderful crystals began to emerge, feeling the deep connection with my cavewoman ancestors. This hardy step takes about 2 hours to complete, after sculpting the rock and cleaning these natural wonders.
  • Nestled inside are miniature versions of my Amanita sculptures. Using different colours of Polymer clay and building up the layers to create this wonderfully, intricate, miniature masterpiece. These mushrooms take me about 4 hours to sculpt.
  • Once baked, I glaze each mushroom using gloss varnish to give them a slightly 'wet look'. I then add these mushrooms to my hand-cracked geodes using Epoxy glue, which is the strongest glue I could find and will help keep them secure for generations (1 hour).
  • I have embelished this design with a small dried flower, a foraged stick naturally covered in dried lichen from my local woodland and enhanced the design further using my favourite artificial moss; delicately placing it in places that make these lovely mushrooms look asif they are living in their natural habitat. The total creating time for the embelishments takes around 3 hours to complete.

Carefully cracked and defined with my own imagination and two hands, this gorgeous geode unveils a breathtakingly intricate forest scene captured within its crystalline depths.

Each detail of this unique creation has been meticulously crafted with passion and care.
Inside the geode, you'll discover a mesmerizing woodland tableau, adorned with hand-sculpted, miniature 'Amanita Regalis' mushrooms made from polymer clay.
To enhance the authenticity, I have added a stunning, delicate twig covered in dry lichen, which was foraged from the enchanting forests of Wales during the magical Christmas period.

To further enhance its allure, I've carefully adorned the geode with special artificial moss, giving the impression that lush greenery is naturally flourishing around this wonderful mineral rock.
Under the light, the geode radiates a stunning beauty, illuminating the intricacies of the forest scene and showcasing the magnificent crystals that lie within.

The flowing mineral formations within the geode harmoniously blend with the mushroom scene, creating a visual masterpiece that captivates the imagination.
This exceptional piece is a true testament to the wonders of nature and I have a whole lot of love for it.

This Calcite Geode is more than just a decorative piece to me. It is a celebration of art, nature, and the unique story behind it.
Please embrace the beauty of this extraordinary creation, that will hopefully inspire awe and wonder for generations.
