Blooming flowers - Dartmoor foraged ink - small poster or card available as gift set

  • £5.00

From the earth where they sprouted, nine letterpress printed flowers bloom. The earth-coloured ink is made from locally foraged gorse petals, which are simmered in iron water to give a wonderful, warm brown colour. The nine pink flowers are built from metal printing ornaments and printed on our vintage printing press.

Each card is hand-numbered on the reverse.

Two options are available:

  • Singles: includes a print, and envelope
  • Gift set: This set includes six cards, six envelopes, and ships in a box so that it's ready for gift-giving.

Occasions

  • This is the perfect gift for your garden-loving, outdoor-enthusiastic friends (and also for yourself).
  • Appropriate for acknowledging loss and renewal.

Details

  • Ink: is locally made using gorse petals (Ulex europaeus), with an iron modifier.
  • Paper: recycled card, 300gsm
  • Decorative flowers: printed by hand using metal ornaments and synthetic pink ink (made in the UK)
  • Light fastness: the pink letterpress flowers are light fast; the natural ink is meant to fade (the fading process will be faster if the piece is left in direct sunlight)

All of our papers are recycled, and British where possible. We can provide you specific details on certifications each paper has, and the mill where they were made.
