Our handmade magnetic shawl closures are individually decorated which makes each a unique item. This piece can be used as a brooch or a shawl pin. It has a powerful magnet on the back and can be used through multiple layers of fabrics or garments.
The piece takes several weeks to dry and then the finishing can take place. When the pieces are removed from the kiln, reduced and cooled, each is washed, dried and an appropriate pin closure is attached to finish the piece.
The magic of raku is in the manipulation of the oxygen around the pots after it taken from the kiln. It's a magical chemical process than almost (I'm being kind and generous...almost) makes you appreciate your high school chemistry class.

Remember that because of the handmade nature of the piece, some variations should be expected. Even though we carefully fire each piece in the same manner, variation occurs and gives unique qualities to the piece. The quality is always the same standard that LickinFlames is known for, but some variations in color, design element placement and decoration patterns needs to be allowed. We know you will love the piece that is shipped. But in case you don't we cover your satisfaction with our return policy.
