Thank you for your understanding. **《About the Craftsmanship》** Each of the five diamond-shaped petals is crocheted individually and then carefully sewn together to form a single flower. To capture the delicate veining of the bellflower, two shades of purple embroidery thread, varying in depth, were used. A fine wire is incorporated into the center of each diamond-shaped petal, allowing for gentle shaping and a natural curve. The white pistil is created by winding white embroidery thread around a wire. The tip of the pistil is designed to open into five sections, creating the charming appearance of a smaller white flower blooming within the purple petals. The buds are also crafted with an internal wire to give them a pleasing fullness. Cotton is inserted inside the buds to maintain their shape and prevent them from becoming flattened. We hope you will appreciate the delightful, balloon-like form of the buds. The leaves are also made with an embedded wire, allowing for subtle adjustments to their curves and angles. Feel free to shape them to your preference, making your brooch uniquely yours. This piece complements not only casual attire like T-shirts and dresses but also adds a touch of elegance to formal occasions, such as celebrations. __As each item is entirely handmade, no two pieces are exactly alike, just as natural flowers vary.__ __We hope you will cherish the unique individuality of your received flower.__ __Embrace the warmth and texture of handcrafted artistry, and enjoy adorning yourself with a seasonal bloom as you go about your day.__ ***** A white Kikyo (Bellflower) pin brooch is also available.
