Hawthorn Earring

When out collecting sheep wool from Dartington Hall, I kept an eye out for other natural materials I could use in my work. I started noticing the long tapering spikes on hawthorn shrubs, and decided to see if one would fit as an earring. I found that I was able to easily push one into my ear and that it was secure. In fact, I even forgot I was wearing it until I got home that evening, and I only took it out when I got into bed!
