Orange Harvest Earrings

Description

Size: 2 inches top of hook to bottom of leaf. 11/ 16 inch wide.
(5cm by 1.7 cm)

These little leaf earrings are made from polymer clay. The clay leaves are a earthy orangey gold. They are molded from real leaves from a shrubby tree called a “Contorted Filbert”.

Both sides of the leaves are textured with a leaf vein pattern. The veins on the front are highlighted with a dark bronze/ brown to bring out the detail. The back of the leaves are marked with my personal signature stamp.

The leaves curl and curve imitating a real leaf, and adding dimension and movement to this pair of earrings.

The earrings are accented with real seeds which I re-claimed from an old necklace. The seeds are natural color, and they compliment the color of the leaves.

Hung on hand formed sterling silver fish hook style ear wires.
