How it's made: The making of The Eternal Ice Mountain Handmade Artisan Keycap

Description:
The collection "Mystery Forest And Great Mount" simulates the natural scenery of mountains, forests, clouds, mountains, streams, ... (the drawing of clouds requires the sophistication of the artisans: the clouds must not be too high, too low, too blurred, too clear, too much, or too little and especially, the clouds have to be floating around the top of the mountain or landing on over the stream. The color of the rocky mountains alternating with the green of the trees, highlighting the white of the clouds and the winding streams at the foot of the mountain, all that harmony creates a perfect product and the sense of harmony.

You will also be amazed with the similar detail of the "Eternal Ice Mountain", the colorful tropical forests in "Fantasy Forest" or the "Great Volcano" .

They relates to:
Spring: The trees are green, the mountains and forests are covered with a beautiful green color
Summer: the forest leaves begin to turn yellow and red, somewhere in the forest, the mountain has a number of trees in bloom with yellow, orange, and red flowers.
Winter: the whole mountain is covered with white snow
Summer: reminiscent of volcanoes
