This acorn was carved in wax and cast in sterling silver. Growing up in the North of America, there were lots of oak trees. And I love oak trees. I imagine this acorn represents me – the seed of an oak from the north. But I’ve since moved to Brisbane and love this area too, but no oak trees. There are, however, lots and lots of Eucalypts. So while I may feel like an acorn at my root… inside, there’s a little gum tree just under the surface.
