Details * Handmade in Tasmania's beautiful Meander Valley * This earrings are created using our photograph of gum trees, growing in the Tasmanian Midlands * Earrings are made from glass set into stainless steel. The hooks are stainless steel OR recycled silver, which are both excellent for sensitive ears Story Fire is an unavoidable fact of life in Australia. For all the destruction it causes, it also brings life. Gum Trees utilise the ash beds of mild fires to germinate their seeds and sprout new growth. I photographed this stark but fabulously shaped stand of trees shortly after a fire had passed through the area.
