Fog Willow Farms: a farm visit told through a compact souvenir

From the September 2026 concept archive · Story published November 9, 2026

Design proposal

Original concept artwork from our proposal archive. The production-and-use story below is an imagined next chapter; a completed order is not claimed for these items.

The pin concept gathers farm and autumn cues into a wearable shape with lighting kept within its outline.

The inspiration behind the design

Downloaded website header

The saved farm header supplied the handwritten name and its animal, windmill, willow, hill, and river imagery. The site's pumpkin-patch and hayride experiences suggested the reverse scene. The coin combines those references with pumpkins and vines, turning the farm visit into a seasonal keepsake rather than reproducing a particular photograph.

The idea behind the object

Picture the design as a reminder of a hayride or pumpkin-patch afternoon, with the physical proof deciding which tiny details deserve space.

Thought experiment: taking the proposal further

A production proof brings the printed artwork, cut outline, LED locations, battery, switch, and attachment together. The lights need room inside the edge, and the name needs to remain readable at the selected size. A rendering can show the intended mood; a sample establishes the actual brightness, sequence, weight, and fit.

In that imagined next chapter, the approved proof would lead to a sample review, then a confirmed production run and a plan for presenting the pieces. Those are possible next steps, not events we claim happened for this proposal.
