Description
Renowned for its strength and stability, the oak tree has long been a valuable source of materials including wood for building, bark for tanning leather, tannin for dyeing and acorns for food.
The gracefully lobed leaves make a perfect foil for the smooth, oval nuts and in combination, have been a popular motif for centuries.
Interpreted here with thread, felt and wire, both elements are worked in three-dimensions then joined together with a locking pin to form a charming brooch.
