Leaves! Oak and manzanita trees are mainstays of the forest around our southern Oregon home. Larkin created these two clothing pins using leaves from the forest floor around our house as models.
Larkin cut and textured the manzanita leaf, finishing it with a dusting of powdered silver to mimic the surface of their leaves.
The oak leaf took a whole lot of texturing to get that magical crinkly texture around the veins!
Larkin finished each of these with a hand-shaped sharp pin fastener, so they can be worn on any fabric. These could adorn a favorite hat, shoulder bag, jacket lapel, t-shirt, anything!
