We have had some beautiful early spring weather recently here in southern Oregon! Sometimes, Larkin just can't bear to work in their studio when the great outdoors is beckoning so becomingly. The other day, they took a few tools outside and used a stump as a hammering block to... well... hammer out a couple of leaves.
The texture and veining of the houndstongue really lends itself beautifully to silverwork! What should this leaf become? A hair pin? A clothing pin? A necklace? A full-sized silver plant replica (ha ha, that might be what *I* want to see, but that's a lot of silver 😅)?
