KupKup Land Pincushions

Pincushions or surreal landscape art? KupKup Land’s deliberately assembled tableaus belie their original purpose as places to corral sharp sewing implements. Based in Athens, Greece, KupKup (the store’s gray-clad mascot, who is really a lady named Kima) likes “big treasures, friendship, the sky and the stars, the sun and the forests. Small treasures, buttons, glass beads and all kind of nice stones.” He also likes to eat canned tuna fish and is “totally in love with Clhoé.”
I would be terribly remiss in my duties as a lover of fake baked goods if I didn’t mention the mouthwatering pastry brooches KupKup and Kima have whipped up. ($42, Etsy.com)
