Do you know what gatchapon are?

Gatchapon are small toys sold in capsule machines, which originate in Japan.  It's called gatchapon because of the 'gatcha gatcha' sound when you turn the handle, and the 'pon' is the sound made when the toy capsule falls down out of the machine.

I have loved little toys and trinkets from Japan since I was a small child, and my daughter Ana has become obsessed with gatchapon too!

This here is Gatchapon Bear.  They are peering out of its capsule home at you with their paws pressed on the capsule, wondering who you are, and if you will take them home to love.  Gatchapon Bear has a few toys with them, a shiny golden star, and a heart, which keeps them company.

The Gatchapon Bear dangles are layered and fitted like a puzzle and secured with industrial strength adhesive.  Bear has frosty white fur, rosy cheeks and ears, and hand painted facial features.  Their gatchapon home is an aqua colour, with a golden star and mauve heart.

Each piece has been drawn by hand and converted into pieces of wearable art.

The earring measures 5.5cm in height.  It is finished with US hypoallergenic stainless steel stud posts and comfort backs.

Please note that while no pets are permitted in the sewing studio, there is a pet present in the house.

These earrings are READY TO POST.  Please note if ordered with clothing, it will be sent with clothing.
