scissor hands matchbook trio

a tour through tinsmith circle’s small businesses

Edward Scissorhands is one of my all-time favorite movies. When challenged to create a matchbook trio, I thought it was the perfect time to take inspiration from the Tim Burton classic. In the movie, Edward cuts everybody’s hair, I took this as a jumping-off point to create three small businesses highlighting his strengths with scissors as hands. In the end, I landed on a barbershop, bush pruning company, and shish kabob restaurant. Would you move to this pastel-painted town?
