Rhododendron & Maple Ornament

Globe: Rhododendron (Domestic - Local) hollowed & Gold Mica powder
Cap & Finial: Curly Maple (Domestic)
Dimensions: 5.75"h x 2.5"w

This is a "Y" section of the same Rhododendron branch used to make the Ring Cup. The branch is very old and from a very large shrub. The very center (pith) of the entire branch had turned to powder. I dug this out and replaced it with Gold Mica powder. The piece has a mirror-like finish and the chatoyance really draws you in.

The Curly Maple I selected because it has yellow/green "flame" running down the entire length that worked very well with the yellow of the globe.
