A Silver Strawberry Leaf and 2 Silver Acorns . . .

 Strawberry Leaf completed using Silver Plated Pearl Purl (No.1) and Silver Plated Rough Purl (size 4) in a pattern of 3 rows Pearl Purl, 1 row Rough Purl.
 

 Acorn Tops:  Loops of Silver Plated Rough Purl (size 4) and 90% Silver Smooth Purl (size 6).
Acorn Bottoms:  outlined with Silver Plated Pearl Purl (No.1) and filled with 90% Silver Bright Check (size 6) chipping.  I tried adding some shading to the top by concentrating the Smooth Purl at the top and graduating speckling it in towards the bottom of the top.  I laid the loops down in rows following the outside edge of the acorn top.  The created a ridged appearance to the top that added extra dimension.
