I repeatedly experimented and iterated, but missed the season and had to abandon the project. Finally, this time, I have completed a camellia brooch that I am satisfied with—a beautiful and lovely piece. It is entirely hand-knitted using a single strand of embroidery thread. Wire is incorporated into the petals and leaves, allowing for some flexibility to curve or adjust the angle as desired. We hope you will enjoy arranging it to your liking. The center of the camellia, its characteristic stamen. Achieving the right volume for this stamen was a challenge. Too much made it look dense and obscured the beauty of the flower, while too little made it look like a completely different flower. Through repeated trials, I was able to create a stamen volume that captures the essence of a camellia. ○ The tips of the stamens are dyed yellow. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52548878775_e0610d5635_c.jpg ○ The buds are plump, giving the impression of a bud about to bloom. Please do look for the buds slightly hidden by the flowers as well. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52548700174_8b833e0131_c.jpg ○ After the pin brooch is attached, it is also carefully secured with embroidery thread. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52548879285_b85004fc06_c.jpg **《Care Instructions》** ・While the leaves of the brooch have been treated for shape retention and waterproofing, if they get wet, gently wipe off the water droplets and allow them to air dry. ・Exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading, so we recommend storing it in a place away from direct sunlight. We hope you will cherish it for a long time. **《About Camellias》** Blooming season: December - April Also known as: Mandara, Tsubaki, Winter Rose, Kaimatsu Scientific name: Camellia japonica *Flower Meanings* General: Modest kindness, Pride Red Camellia: Unassuming excellence, Unpretentious grace, Humble virtue *Birth Flower* February 3rd, December 10th *Please note that there are various interpretations for flower meanings and birth flowers.* **《Shipping Method》** For domestic shipping within Japan, items will be delivered via **"Click Post."** Tracking included.
