Several years ago, I was surprised to see both white and pink plum blossoms blooming on a single tree. Inspired by that memory, I designed this piece to evoke the image of a slender branch adorned with a succession of white and pink plum blossoms. The plump buds and two-toned flowers enhance the authentic look of plum blossoms. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52470180855_c6fb9745b3_c.jpg The calyxes have been carefully crocheted and attached to the flowers and buds to create a realistic plum blossom appearance, even when viewed from the back. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52469996809_9ac5945479_c.jpg Upon completion, I found myself admiring the back of the brooch and thinking, "This turned out so lovely." We sincerely hope you will also enjoy admiring the back of the plum blossoms when you attach or remove the brooch. The soft hues of the plum blossoms are a perfect complement to clothing in shades of white, beige, and other neutral tones. We invite you to wear them on a light sweater or coat and enjoy your outings in early spring. Your brooch will be carefully packaged in a clear case and tied with a ribbon before shipping. Please note that the ribbon color may vary from the one shown in the photograph. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52469971039_7560d0950a_c.jpg __As each piece is entirely hand-knitted, there will be individual variations, much like real flowers, and no two items will be identical to the photograph.__ __We hope you will cherish the unique character of the blossoms that arrive to you.__ __Feel the warmth and texture unique to hand-knitting, and enjoy wearing seasonal flowers as you go about your day.__ **《Other Plum Series Items Available》** **〇Red Plum Pin Brooch** **▶https://jp.pinkoi.com/product/fRft52Wx** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52469716021_e57917c841_c.jpg **〇White Plum Pin Brooch** **https://jp.pinkoi.com/product/GKNa7XH2** A brooch featuring rich white plum blossoms. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52469716441_2031ab5264_c.jpg **〇Dangling Plum ~Red~ Earrings/Clip-ons** **▶https://jp.pinkoi.com/product/gpT2HsQb** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52651900256_31a39f6e2d_c.jpg **〇Dangling Plum ~Pink~ Earrings/Clip-ons** **▶https://jp.pinkoi.com/product/tJYE4vwB** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52651900276_fc507348df_c.jpg **〇Dangling Plum ~White~ Earrings/Clip-ons** **▶https://jp.pinkoi.com/product/Y7rEVBDq** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52651411697_39b8e7eb2a_c.jpg **《Size》** Total Length: Approximately 10.0–10.5 cm *Please note that sizes may vary slightly due to the hand-knitted nature of the item.* **《Materials》** ・Embroidery Floss ・Pin Brooch Base ・Wire ・Beads ・Adhesive ・Stiffener and Waterproofing Agent **《Care Instructions & Precautions》** ・The entire brooch has been treated for shape retention and waterproofing.
