The piece consists of two thimbles, both of bronze, resting on a roughly hewn piece of Trethewey granite.

The artwork's production was sponsored by Trethewey Granite and Marble (now Trethewey Stone).

This work is part of The Grey Lynn Sculpture Park, a cluster of works installed from 1993-1996 in the park's gully. The project was administered by Sculptura, a group of local residents. They commissioned works from artists living in, or with a connection to, Grey Lynn. Funding support came from Western Bays Community Board; Northern Regional Arts Council; Creative Communities; Community Initiatives; Grey Lynn Mainstreet; Grey Lynn/Westmere Community Committee; a private local benefactor and local residents.
