Chicken of the Woods Wooden Earrings

Lightweight wooden earrings featuring my very cute illustration of the Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus spp) fungi. Showcase the beauty of nature with these artful and fun earrings!

Chicken of the Woods was crucial to my 2023 Appalachian Trail thru-hike, having foraged, cooked and eaten it probably 30% of the time as a delectable part of my dinners. (I even saw a cluster from 40 ft off the trail before!) I knew I wanted to illustrate this fantastic fungi blended in the form of a chicken - so these loopy lashes and googly eye balls came to me, and after a few drafts, there it was - cute, pecky and fluffin’ its stuff. 

THE CRAFT. From hand drawn art.

• Original illustrations printed onto responsibly sourced maple wood.
• Hand assembled in small batches using non-hypoallergenic high quality stainless steel hardware, including lever back attachments (as opposed to hooks) so the earrings will stay put and not poke you (i got chu). 
• Designed and crafted in the mountainous Southern Appalachian region of North Carolina.

All sales final.
