Oak Leaves & Bittersweet Branches

Take a walk along an autumn woodland path with earrings inspired by the season. Oak leaves flutter from trees that tower into the sky. Along the path a bramble of bittersweets grow among the foliage. The cool crisp air stirs and the smell of  wood burning in a fireplace is faintly coming from the cottage at the end of your walk.


I'm loving fall -  for the first time in ten years I am immersed in the beauty of the season.  It pours out into everything as I sit down to create.

  11. Love the teal and the amber brown in those beads. One of my fav combinations! Those oak leaf charms look like the real thing! Perfect with the beads. And with the polyclay they would still be lightweight.
