NORTH BETHESDA, Md. — Maryland-based Nature’s Creations artists are freezing moments from nature that occur once every 17 years by covering the shell casings and the remains of full formed brood X cicadas in copper. These fascinating detailed treasures are all one-of-a kind since the actual cicada specimens are still intact inside.
“We look for the most interesting cicadas that have run their cycle of life and preserve them in our unique electroforming process,” says artist Dennis Ray.
These intriguing little guys are available as pins and necklaces along with other natural items at: https://www.leafpin.com/.
