Owls with Oak Leaves and Acorns

I made these earrings yesterday with my last (for now) pair of glass eyes. I was looking for a 'dangle' to add under the owl, but I didn't fancy grinding any pottery shards [it is hard work, and I have to wear a dust mask and goggles, and do lots of cleaning up afterwards...] so I thought I'd do an oak leaf.
After I had made the leaf - I remembered that I had some tiny copper acorns that I had made a while back as bail decorations  - and managed to find them (a miracle) - and they were the right size!

I added them, and 'owl with oak leaf and acorn' earrings were born - very very fiddly to make but fun and very seasonal!

Owl earrings with glass eyes, and copper acorns

When I was looking for the acorns on my blog, I discovered that I had made them exactly a year previously! 21st of September 2011. Funny coincidence! I guess it's the seasonal changes...
