maple wings

Spring has just begun to sneak in upon us - I love all the colours!! Down the driveway, the red maple put out it's seed pods - we called them helicopters when we were little. Now I hear them called maple wings. I couldn't resist making something to evoke the fun I associate with these things.

I plan on making several more for a necklace. I thought it would good to include the pic I took which I used as a basis. Having finished this one, were I to go back and do it over, I would use the darker colour of green on the bottom and the lighter on top to better make it look more rounded. Sometimes you have to make mistakes and get messy to learn something!!
