About this Product
This little elven leaf shawl pin looks like it was plucked from a fantasy forest! It was handcrafted from high quality tooling leather and painted in shimmering olive green. It has a wonderfully magical vibe, while still being well suited to every day muggle wear.
MEASUREMENTS + MATERIALS
✭ Leather measures approximately 2.5" high x 4.5" wide at the tallest and widest points.
✭ Holes are spaced about 2.5″ apart, which is a small spacing.
✭ Fastens with a 4.75" long gold wood hair stick.
✭ Hand crafted using premium tooling leather, artist grade acrylic paints, and wood.
The hole spacing is a small fit, which means that this accessory will hold a small sized section of hair. For my thick hair, this size works well for a small topknot or as a ponytail holder. It also makes a lovely shawl pin.

Meet the Maker
I create wearable art jewelry, accessories, and costumes for those who love myth and nature. My mixed media beadwork and leather craft blends organic and unusual materials like semiprecious stone, vintage glass, bone, and wood. Each piece is hand crafted in my forest studio, with hope that it will spark imagination and rekindle a sense of connection to the natural world.
I've been a beadworker since the early 1980's, and I started working in leather in the early 1990's. I began selling my handcrafted work at art shows and festivals around 1987, and built my first website in 1997. These many years as a working artisan have helped to hone my skill and style, as well as my customer service skills.
With that said, you can trust that your purchase will be truly handcrafted, well made with quality materials, and it will be shipped quickly and securely. I hope your purchase will make you smile, garner lots of compliments, and remind you of the beauty of the natural world.
How it’s Made
Premium tooling leather was carefully cut, carved, dyed, tooled and painted. The leather is sealed with a protective topcoat to make it water resistant (but not waterproof).

Leather Characteristics
Leather is an organic material, with subtle variances from one piece to the next. Like our own skin, it tells a story. Thus, it's perfectly normal for leather to have small surface scratches, brands, or even wrinkles! Small markings such as these are typical characteristics of the medium, and should not be considered flaws. As with humans, these little quirks add to the beauty and character :)
