content: This floral design invokes birch bark etching which is a principle aspect of Howes' work. She draws on her Anishinaabe heritage which teaches "about plants that care for the water, including wild taro, yellow flag, and duckweed." (see https://eighthgeneration.com/products/birch-bloom-earrings). The thermoplastic cellphone/mobile phone case has a facing of cedar wood with a symmetrical floral design incised into the cedar and a high resolution image of birch bark printed over the surface. The sides and interior of the case are matte black. An impressed pattern is visible around the sides of the case. Portals created in the case provide access to phone buttons and plugs.
