Spirit of the Oak - redux

Just a small update to the previous blog re the mirror I made with the Dryad face. Since making it I have come across a piece of agate that matches perfectly with the colour and size of the eye in the mirror. This has added a whole new dimension to the piece, I think you will agree!

Spirit of the Oak

I can only apologise for the lack of blogging but I have been busy, as the proverbial bee, getting ready for the plum fayre in Pershore. I have made about another half dozen mirrors and Tree is well on the way to making another batch of weaving sticks. One mirror, in particular, has fascinated me as I have worked on it. It is a piece of waney edged Oak about 2' high.As I cut and polished further into the surface, lo and behold, a face appeared. Could this be the Dryad spirit of the Oak itself..who knows! I have put the two photos just in case you can't see the face and think I'm mad!
