This sparkling red, green, and gold Aumtumn Oak leaves and acorns wall decor piece was sculpted by hand in polymer clay and decorated with vintage beads (from my grandmother's stash) and other jewelry components. The oak leaves were sculpted from green polymer clay and rubbed with red, gold, and green Pearl Ex powders for a beautiful shimmer and glow. There are two large leaves and one small leaf. The two acorns were also sculpted in green polymer clay and rubbed with Pearl Ex powders. All of the beads and other embellishments were secured in the unbaked clay with wire and liquid polymer clay (which acts as glue after being baked). This piece measures 6 1/2 inches long and 4 inches tall. A metal hanger in securely attached to the back of the piece for hanging on your wall. This piece actually looks good hanging at a slight angle, so you'll never have to worry if it's crooked. This would make a fabulous fall decoration for your home.

This is a version of one of the projects from Christi Friesen. I love the way it makes use of vintage beads and jewelry bits that might not be of use otherwise. And of course I love the shine and shimmer from the sparkling beads and luminous powders. These colors make me think of fall and of Christmas.
