Description
This little resin ornament pairs a smiling hedgehog with a spotted toadstool. The hedgehog sits curled against the toadstool's thick stem, peeping out from under the cap with a black button nose, a wide grin and a small pine cone tucked by its front paws. Its spines are moulded in rounded, textured clusters and painted a warm brown with rusty highlights. Above it, the cap is a bright, glossy red, dotted with white spots and dark speckles and streaked with gold at the edge, while the stem is a soft off-white. The whole piece stands 10cm tall, 9.5cm wide and 9cm deep, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand.
At that size it suits a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a bookshelf or a side table, adding a splash of colour without taking up much room. It also sits happily on a bedside table or a kitchen dresser. The hedgehog looks out from one side and the toadstool rises at the other, so the piece reads well from the front and from either side, and it works as well in a corner as in the middle of a shelf. It makes a cheerful small gift for anyone fond of hedgehogs, easy to wrap and pleasing to unwrap.
The ornament is made from resin with a glazed finish that is at its glossiest on the red cap, while the stem and the spines keep a softer, textured, painted look. It stands on its own, so there is nothing to hang and no wall to find; simply set it down where you would like it. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and let it dry. For an easy arrangement, set it beside a few pine cones on a sideboard, or group it with other small woodland pieces along a shelf.
