The packaging that’s a collector’s item

@canmakersoflondon has collaborated with @diddlysquat.farmshop to create a hand-embossed gold candle tin.
The owners of Diddly Squat Farm, @thetallirish @jeremyclarkson1, wanted to create a candle tin that depicted all the star animals from season one, two and three of Clarkson’s Farm.
Stuart Wilkinson from @canmakersoflondon said: “All elements on the candle are created through embossing, rather than digital printing, helping the details stand out, bringing the animals to life and creating a really tactile finish.”
