Three-Star General Pin

Once I got the idea I couldn’t wait to use this silver pin in my salute to military fashion. I love the world of khakis, camouflage pants, dog tags, and combat boots. My dad was in the Army for 22 years, so military fashion and camouflage has always been a part of my life. Growing up I lived on military bases all over the world from Fort Hood, TX, to Seoul, South Korea. No matter where we lived my dad polished his boots twice a week. And, I remember being curious about each change to his military uniform. Now, even the smell of black shoe shine, takes me back to those days.

So for Fashion Friday I was excited to create a piece of Military inspired jewelry. I planned on making a necklace featuring army green and khaki colored silk ribbon, silver ball chain, and rectangle stamping blanks that I was going to stamp to resemble dog tags. But, as I was surfing the net for Military Fashion I got another idea. I’ll make a Three-Star General pin. Fantastico!

This is what I came up with. What do you think? I think we’ll pass it around the office, so we can take turns being General!
