I saw these pods (seeds, whatever) in my aunt and uncles garden one summer. My first though was "sweet, I'm going to cast that" and I did.
It worked out great! Even the inside came out A LOT better than I expected.
It was shown at Arts West 05, and Lorie Schackmann wore it on her opening (fall 04) at Circa Gallery.
