5 out of 5 starsGreat lapel pins. Beautiful works of art that adds excitement and uniqueness to my rather drab jacket. The items were packaged well and I appreciate the “thank you” note on the back of the business card. It is a little something that makes a difference with customer and seller interaction. The pins were shipped and arrived in a timely manner.

Distinctive Designs
I started by making more interesting barrettes for myself than could be found locally. Then, I explored a broader scope of women's accessories, including the complex and fascinating world of Japanese tsumami kanzashi fabric flowers. Menswear was next.
I became intrigued by the world of men's lapel accessories, and started using kanzashi flowers for those. Bow tie lapel pins and silk button lapels soon followed. I have always been a miniaturist, and making objects under 2 inches in diameter works for me! Also, I'm a gardener, so I have to include representations of actual flowers, such as daffodil, trillium, morning glory, and rose, to name a few.
