Acorn Graphite Drawing Instrument by Zen Stone Garden gift My love for the mediumThis graphite drawing instrument was made by Kelly Barker in Newport, Oregon. Acorns are a major part of a forest's ecosystem. They feed numerous birds and other animals, which in turn spread the acorns across the forest. Additionally, they were the most important food source for many American Indians. Highly nutritious, containing an array of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, the acorn is still used by many American Indians as a food source today.
