Winter Seed Head and Paper Artsy Challenge

I have just finished this little piece of work that I'm entering into the 
Paper Artsy challenge - the subject is miniature art, and on their blog I was particularly inspired by a domino with a pretty bunch of wire and bead flowers attached.  I immediately thought of seeds and twigs! 
I found this seed head in my studio and I used copper gutta around the outside.  I filled it with silk clay, into which I stuck wired beads and then wrapped wire around the stem - I also used Treasure Gold on the outer shell, on the stem and on top of the clay.  The bowl is about 3cm in diameter.
