PANDACAKE: Pandacake is a photographer and an expert one at that! Dedicated to her art, Pandacake enjoys diving to the core of her subject matter and exploring the most intricate of details.

PECAN: Pecan is the oldest and wisest of the Pecanpals. He is a master storyteller, often spending entire afternoons sitting under a tall palm tree, reading. He insists that all the knowledge you ever need to know is found in stories. Pecan likes to be aware of things that are happening on the island, making sure to visit each and every person on his daily rounds. 6.5 inches high.

ABOUT THE WOOD USED:
Like all Noferin wooden pieces, the Pecanpals are made from 100% sustainably harvested wood. They are made from rubber tree wood that would otherwise go to waste. Rubber trees are planted for their rubber, and after about 20 years, their rubber yields start to diminish. We use this beautiful wood, thus saving it from the fire pit.
No two Pecanpals look the same.
They are entirely hand made.
We are very pleased with these figures and hope that you enjoy them too.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Noferin is the collaboration of two parallel minds: that of husband and wife, Candy and Nick.
"Our world is a living environment that grows everyday. At first, we were shaping and creating the boundaries of Carrara Island, but now the world is so vivid and real to us that our role has changed from creator to story-teller. We are the vessels for telling the stories of Carrara Island and the unique characters that call it home. Noferin wishes to take the audience on a journey of discovery that uncovers something new and quite magical with each chapter of this perpetual narrative."
