I repeatedly made prototypes but missed the season and had to give up. Finally, I have completed a camellia brooch that I am satisfied with – it is lovely and charming. All parts are handmade using single-strand embroidery thread. Wire is incorporated into the petals and leaves, allowing for some adjustment of curves and angles to your preference. We hope you will enjoy arranging it to your liking. The center of the camellia, its characteristic part. Achieving the right volume for this center was a challenge. Too much made it look bulky and detracted from the flower's beauty, while too little made it look like a completely different flower. After numerous trials, I was able to create a center with a volume that truly resembles a camellia. ○ The tips of the center are dyed yellow. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52539188721_2989d1feb8_c.jpg ○ The buds are plump, appearing as if they are about to bloom. Please do take a look at the buds, slightly hidden by the flower. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52539188971_bb7b7de4eb_c.jpg ○ The brooch clasp is securely fixed by carefully wrapping embroidery thread around it after adhesion. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52548994673_23ab12c218_c.jpg **《Care Instructions》** ・The leaves of the brooch have been treated for shape retention and waterproofing. However, if they get wet, gently wipe off the water droplets and allow them to air dry. ・Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading, so we recommend storing it in a place away from direct sunlight. We hope you will cherish it for a long time. **《About Camellias》** Blooming season: December to April Also known as: Mandara, Tsubaki, Tōfūka, Kaiseki Scientific name: Camellia japonica *Flower meanings* General: Modest kindness, pride White Camellia: Perfect beauty, flawless charm, supreme loveliness *Birth flowers* February 3rd, December 10th *Please note that flower meanings and birth flowers may have various interpretations.* **《Shipping Method》** Shipping within Japan will be via **"Click Post."** Includes tracking.
