Teeny leaf size 5 - 7 cm x 3 cm (each) - Hooks 3 cm
Materials : Acrylics on cut canvas. 3 cm Kidney hooks, nickel free silver plate over brass. Surfaced to handle wearing, but not getting overly wet eg not for the pool or the shower :-)

The colouring and details in these earrings is heavily influenced by my visit to the Hunderwasser center in Whangarei and exploring his love for colour and design and nature.

For me they also represent that feeling of coming across an intense coloured leaf lying on the ‘drab’ forest floor … and that desire to pick it up and take it home. Keeping the colours and feelings of Nature close to you.

These leaves are painted as tiny canvas’s, I now paint the backs as though it’s the back of a mottled leaf, with the addition of my name and an inventory number.
