Shhhhh, it's a surprise...

You may remember the copper and enamel leaves I made in a previous post.  Syd asked if I could do a custom piece for her, two oak leaves to represent herself and her husband with three acorns to represent her children.  I still have to string it, but that's the easy part.  I cut, hammered and enameled the copper, then made three little lampwork acorn headpins with little copper caps.  Here it is, can't wait to see her on Friday night to present it to her.  I hope she likes it.  I will try to get a picture of her wearing it this weekend.
