By using gradient embroidery floss, each flower develops a slightly different hue, creating unique hydrangeas. At the center of each approximately 8mm flower, tiny transparent beads are meticulously sewn. The addition of these beads at the center lends a subtle, elegant touch to the blooms. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52927106023_394ab8644c_n.jpg For the leaves, two shades of embroidery floss are used: green and dark green. At the tip of one leaf, silver beads are crocheted in to represent raindrops. Enjoy the way the beads shimmer and sparkle when they catch the light. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52927114463_5b75f6830e_n.jpg After attaching the brooch pin to the hydrangea motif, embroidery floss is wrapped around it for added security. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52927106043_f210f72e42_n.jpg __As each piece is hand-crocheted, no two are exactly alike, making each one a unique creation.__ __We hope you will cherish the individuality of your piece and enjoy the warmth and texture that only handmade items can offer.__ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52926816349_3fb453779f_n.jpg **《Care Instructions and Precautions》** ・The flowers have been treated for shape retention and water resistance. However, if they get wet, gently wipe off any moisture and allow them to air dry. ・Pulling too hard or applying excessive force may cause the flowers, due to the nature of the floss, to lose their shape or become damaged. Please handle with care. ・The color tone in the photos may differ from the actual product depending on your monitor or PC environment. * A "Care Instructions (Bookmark)" is included with your order. It highlights key points for handling your specific piece with red lines, which we hope you will find helpful. **《About Hydrangeas》** The 6th, 16th, and 26th of June are known as "Hydrangea Days" in Japan.
