My First Armor

Last night I got my Birthday present a few weeks early.  My loving and awesome husband made me my first armor.  This looks amazing and fits wonderfully.  I did not ask for armor because I do not play enough to warrant the need for anything.  I am usually the Kingdom retrieval fairy (hit the fairy and DIE).  So I was surprised that he made me armor more surprised that last night was the fist time I had seen it.  He did not describe it or anything.  He blindfolded me once to check the fit but that  was it.

He did a much better job of describing what he made.

Leather and Satin lacing. Painted to give the ...effect of bronze-age dye/color rather than modern paints. Bracers are strapped outward for archery use.
Symbolism: Stags are our family device, Oak leaves are our mutual symbol. The circular maze is her single most favorite design, and the flower-and-vine detail is what she selected for our wedding invitations (and has since fallen in love with.)

The labyrinth (maze) is the design from the back of my favorite tarot cards.  They were the deck I was reading the weekend we met.  The wedding design was a blue flower originally but I am really enjoying the purple flower.  I am in love with his oak leaves, and yes that sounded wrong in my head too.
