Viola Claw - Purple Pansy

A pansy claw three-quarters of an inch across — sized for one pinned-back section, not a bun. Plum, blue and pearly white acetate. Sold singly.

A real pansy pressed into clear resin, dark center and all. 1.5 in square and half an inch thick — the smallest of the studies, sized to sit in the palm.

Hand-cut acetate in smoky clear, set with daisies — named for the eclipta, the false daisy. About 5 in, the biggest claw in the line, so it actually holds thick hair. Sold singly.

A swan and a scatter of stars on a glittering silver acetate claw — named for Cygnus, the swan constellation. About 3 in. Sold singly.

A line of snails crossing a 3 in alligator clip, hand-cut from acetate. Colours are assorted — you don't pick. Sold singly.

A single oyster hand-cut from acetate, with rhinestones standing in for the crushed ice. About 3.5 in on a gold-tone alligator clip. Sold singly.

Two silver sardines hand-cut from acetate, one to a clip, with a little sparkle. About 3 in each. Sold as a pair.

Six HB cedarwood pencils carrying rose essential oil — the scent is in the wood, not a coating. In a handmade letterpress box; keep it shut between uses or the scent goes. Made in the UK.
