Painted from a photo of our dogwood, silhouetted against the sky. Trees each have their own sort of posture, you know?

Barrette clasp reads “Made in France,” from the original French factory, which went out of business. (I stocked up a decade ago.) The original French barrettes somehow don’t snag as much in one’s hair.

Wearable eco-art that will last millennia. I am working out ways to minimize my environmental impact— working small, firing fewer times, conserving glaze materials. (I still have all my glaze tests from grad school. :))

Made in October 2024

This is a fairly large barrette, so it might require a ponytail, or braids, or other structure to hold it.

3.5 × 1.5 x .75 inches. On an 83mm barrette clip.
