A present for me?!

What is clutched in that little hand? Could it be a present for me?
It was my birthday last week and Yashar gave me a beautiful necklace made by Riki Inukai from RikiCraft on Etsy.

Riki has a workshop in her home in Takarazuka, Japan and made this using a real apple geranium leaf. She explains that she painted the leaf with PMC, a fine clay that becomes 99.9% silver when fired. The process sounds so interesting and I love the necklace!

It also came in a gorgeous package with some cute little notepaper as an extra treat. Lucky me!
