We have crafted a classic crimson plum blossom pin brooch. We hope you enjoy wearing it on light sweaters or coats for your early spring outings. #1 The design is inspired by the plum blossom's characteristic upward bloom, as if successive flowers are opening towards the sky. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52469716021_e57917c841_c.jpg #2 The stamen are also rendered with embroidery floss, creating a soft and delicate center. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52470180170_93b6ca531b_c.jpg #3 The round buds, a distinctive feature of the plum blossom, are a carefully considered detail. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52470263788_9d41d75e52_c.jpg #4 To ensure it resembles a real plum blossom even when viewed from the back, we have crocheted sepals and carefully attached them to the flower and bud. Upon completion, looking at the back, I felt a sense of satisfaction, thinking, "This turned out so lovely." We hope you will enjoy admiring the back of the plum blossom when attaching or removing the brooch. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52469996204_d6d988909d_c.jpg __As each piece is entirely hand-knitted, there will be individual differences, much like real flowers, and no two will be exactly alike. __ __We hope you will appreciate the unique character of the piece that arrives in your hands. __ __We invite you to feel the warmth and texture unique to hand-knitting and enjoy wearing seasonal flowers as you go out. __ The brooch will be shipped in a clear case, tied with a ribbon. Please note that the ribbon color may vary from the one shown in the photo. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52469971039_7560d0950a_c.jpg **《Other Plum Blossom Series Items》** **〇 Pink and White Plum Blossom Pin Brooch** **▶https://jp.pinkoi.com/product/ZLDPnFB7** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52469996689_9ff645babd_c.jpg **〇 White Plum Blossom Pin Brooch** **▶https://jp.pinkoi.com/product/GKNa7XH2** A deep, rich white plum blossom brooch. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52469716441_2031ab5264_c.jpg **〇 Dangling Plum Blossom ~Crimson~ Pierced Earrings/Clip-on Earrings** **▶https://jp.pinkoi.com/product/gpT2HsQb** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52651900256_31a39f6e2d_c.jpg **〇 Dangling Plum Blossom ~Pink~ Pierced Earrings/Clip-on Earrings** **▶https://jp.pinkoi.com/product/tJYE4vwB** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52651900276_fc507348df_c.jpg **〇 Dangling Plum Blossom ~White~ Pierced Earrings/Clip-on Earrings** **▶https://jp.pinkoi.com/product/Y7rEVBDq** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52651411697_39b8e7eb2a_c.jpg **《Size》** Total Length: Approx. 10.0~10.5 cm *Please note that slight variations in size may occur due to the handmade nature of the item. **《Materials》** ・Embroidery Floss ・Pin Brooch Backing ・Wire ・Beads ・Adhesive ・Stiffening and Waterproofing Agent **《Care Instructions & Precautions》** ・The entire brooch has been treated for shape retention and waterproofing.
