From INPSPIRATIONS:
"In this first volume, we’re giving Pincushions a makeover.
Each designer was given the same brief. There were no rules. No guidelines. The only criteria: the final project must house pins and needles.
The result? The most imaginative, clever, and artistic pincushions you have ever seen."
