"Hoo Lives in an Emerald Forest?"
About this design:
"Hoooo Lives In an Emerald Forest?"
Owl is hand carved by local carver Ute. Carved from moose antler. The leaves are emerald and the acorns are Sapphires, hanging from a "branch" of Cinnamon and Sage Sapphires, and Hessonite Garnets with a few emeralds for good measure... I will post a link to Ute's website as soon as I can!
Components:
