It is April in NC and dogwood trees are blooming now. This always inspires me to make a dogwood pin. Each one is slightly different in shape and the one that I picked last week to use as my template is different than the flower that is in this photo. I form my silver flowers from fine (.999) silver & the stems & the leaves are made from sterling (.925) silver. Note: in July 2015, this pin was bought by a smart husband & he is giving it to his wife for their 25th anniversary!!
