The Wild Grape (Vitus Mustangenesis) that these leaves were taken from are often mistaken for and crowded out by their close but less flamboyant cousin, the Muscadine. Both are wild grapes that are native to the southern United States, including Texas. Growing up in Mississippi, where vines climb with abundance in every forest, I often came across wild grapes. Upon eating them, I quickly learned that just because they look like grapes doesn't mean they will taste like it. The bitter skinned fruit from this plant is generally used to make jams, jellies and wines, but is not the best for eating raw. If you love sour and bitter things, however, you will probably enjoy eating these. I do!
Material: The pair in the picture is cast in BRONZE.
Every pair is made one at a time in my studio.
Available options: (pick from drop down)
Bronze (shown)
Sterling Silver
