Mighty Oak Large Metal Mirror

Even the mightiest oak tree comes from the smallest acorn, but not this big oak leaf steel mirror. It came from the smallest metalworking studio in Chicago. The huge leaves I used as a template came from a tree in Ohio, where the turning of the autumn leaves is nearly a religious experience. The natural rust patina adds a warmth to the piece, like a cup of hot cider warms up the coolest of hikes through the crunchy leaves.
