Having spent the week trying to shrug off an annoyingly persistent cold, it made me think of a previous instance of cold "nuisancery" on a trip to London a couple of years ago. As well taking away memories of a feverish episode in the palm house, I came back with an acorn in my pocket.
Possibly it came from this tree, otherwise I can't think why on earth I took this photo.
Made a resin+metal replica of the acorn, cut a circle of silver and began...
a little
bit of
doming
a little
bit of
raising to bring edges over
soft texture with my favourite pitted hammer
and addition of "stalky" bit (obviously not yet cut to size)
still life on workbench: acorn, shell, silver button
