acorns - color and shape

I've been working on acorns recently after finding one in the lawn under an oak tree.

I've been having fun with color, transparency, and shape.

Yesterday I continued these acorns and started to make them larger and more elaborate while not staying true to form, but loving the results.

Walk in the Woods - Color Inspiration

Today was a great day for a walk in the woods. A great way to keep the step count up. I have been wearing a Fitbit for about 6 months and really try to get at least 10,000 steps in a day. Today's weather was cloudy, but warmer than it has been recently with a temperature of 34 degrees F. The warmer temps started melting the small amount of snow that has accumulated in the last week.

My walk provided great color inspiration.

Wilted leaves and small ferns in the snow.

Berries against a stark background of bark.

Moss on a log beneath the snow.

Now to get my latest creation into the kiln.
