Mr. Acorn

May 30th, 2006 by Kathy

I received this lovely little acorn in the mail on Saturday. Ann Wood created this for the Whiplash Yarn Challenge. She offered it up in a raffle and I was the lucky winner! Her original post and a follow up How To. The quality of her work is really phenomenal. Every piece of the construction is perfectly executed. What a treat to receive something so beautiful. No Oak trees in sight so it’s sitting pretty in a Vine Maple. I grew up in Missouri along with thousands of Oak trees. Having this little acorn in my studio conjures up very fond childhood memories of collecting and playing with these wonderfully perfect nuts. Thank you Ann!

Lucky you, that’s cool and so original. I’ve never seen anyone make one of those before.

That does look very well crafted, and so cute to boot!

We have three big oak trees in the backyard, and last year was a good year for acorns. My son Leo collected bagsful of acorn caps to “sell” (kind of like a crafty lemonade stand)–please let me know if you’d like us to send you some, for free of course!
