Frothy flitting orange and purple, like a summer sorbet -- cool and smooth on a hot day. Polka dots, sundresses, leaves whispering in the gentle breeze, aestival days delight!

I began this hook with marvelously bright Osage Orange wood -- I love its rich, deep color, and the way it polishes up to a glass-like smoothness! I decided that it would look even lovelier with a little decoration, and hand-carved polka dots of different sizes all the way around the hook. I then painted them in various shades of purple, gold, and silver metallic acrylic.

This piece is engraved with my signature/artist's mark. Size I (5.5 mm), seven and seven-eighths inches long. Heirloom quality.
