A miniature glass-covered mossy world of forest friends!
The five hand-formed pins are:
- Hedgehog
- Mushroom
- Tree stump
- Squirrel
- Bird
The pins are made by hand by an artist in Kyoto who specializes only in making miniature pins. We absolutely love that this is a thing...that someone gets to spend their days not only making miniatures, but only those that are made into sewing pins.
The cork base is topped with mossy green textured fabric that is packed densely to hold pins. The glass cloche encloses your forest environment.
Dimensions: 2"d x 3-7/8"h with glass cover in place; pins are 38mm long
Each pin cushion and set of pins comes boxed.
