Talk about down to the wire-- Larkin finished the final polish on this piece after dark last night and we grabbed some quick photos before it disappeared off to market this morning!
Larkin cut the terrarium cabochon from a piece of petrified wood found by our family, leaving the top rough to show the original exterior of the wood and mimic the rough surface of soil.
The sweet-as-all-get-out sproutling is hand-fabricated from sterling silver with so much detail! Check out its tiny terminal bud between the two leaves! Larkin kept the frame and back simple and clean, highlighting the stone and sprout.
Larkin made the custom bail with a stylized sun, the perfect accompaniment for new growth. They were amused that it also looked much like the stereotypical sun you see in the corner of so many kids' drawings. :)
