Stylised wax impressions

 I tried using some cake decorating tools to do clay and wax impressions as well because the one looks like cells and the other looks like leaves with xylem. The leaves came out more stylised than I would have liked but I love the cells in the wax because the raised edges look like the walls of plant cells. This plant cell wall is what greatly differentiates plant and animal cells as animal cells do not have cell walls, only a membrane. With cells, it also doesn't matter if they are stylised or not as cells can't be seen with the naked eye so the impressions can't be compared.
