Step 14. Catkins on your ears

I grew up in a house with a huge birch tree in the front yard. The tree's catkins were part of many childhood games and a were a source of wonder. I still like finding catkins to examine or draw.

When I saw the catkin earrings at the Jewels by JAR exhibit at the Met, I was instantly smitten with them and had to make a quick sketch.

Clip-on earrings by JAR made of sapphire, bronze, silver, gold.
