Winter Oak

Description

Everyone else put on their fall coats and left months ago, but he's holding out. He may look a little leaner than his summer brothers, but there's a twinkle in his icy eye. There's a magic that only comes in winter, and he'll be the one to see it. And when he finally takes his retirement, he'll whisper the secret to the acorns buried in the ground, and they can carry it with them through the winters to come, and share it with their own leaves.

Made from two oak leaves pressed into polymer clay, face molded and then shaped by me. Last of this seasonal Oak series, with all leaves pressed from the same initial leaves from my yard.

Blue and silver clay, pearl detailing, acrylic glaze to protect it all. He'll come with a knotted cord necklace like my other oakey pendants, (see final picture for example) but the choice of color is up to you. I like white, if you're stuck for choice.

Roughly 4.56 inches wide and 2.5 inches long.
