Purple Blossom Wreath
This spring blossom wreath features two lilac spidermums, three purple magnolia, one vibrant peony, and one zinnia flower. They are accompanied by green leafy stems and little green hydrangea blooms.
33 cm (13 inches) wide and tall.
The flowers are made from hand painted papers, using acrylic inks and metallic lustres. My flower designs are deceptively sturdy. They may look fragile, but they are made with 300 gsm watercolour paper, which is a heavy card. Their colours will not fade either, so they are built to last. I made this as we approach spring, my favourite time of year. I’m so looking forward to seeing blooms pop out of the garden. These wreaths aim to capture the joy of springtime in your house all year long.
There is a steel hook to hang it on the wall, suspended with invisible fishing line.
Other colours and combinations can be made to order. Please get in touch if you would like to commission anything. I’m currently working on some wreaths that will depict the blooms of each month, so keep a look out for new designs.
Gift wrapped and free UK postage.
Flower species have many traditional connotations. Chrysanthemums represent friendship and happiness. Magnolia represent luck and stability. Peonies represent love, wealth and beauty. Zinnias represent endurance, goodness and lasting affection. Purple flowers in general are said to represent success as well as royalty.

BESPOKE SCULPTURES, MADE BY HAND
Each paper sculpture is entirely handmade, from design to hand painted paper, to every hand cut feather or petal. Bird sculptures are given their own pose and expression. This ensures every piece is unique. If you own one of my sculptures, yours is the only one of its kind.
HANGING YOUR SCULPTURE
Each bird themed wall sculpture has a hand shaped copper coated steel hook, suspended on invisible fishing line, at a 30 cm drop from the top of the wreath. This hook will hang on a nail tack or picture hook on your wall. The sculptures are robust, but lightweight, so will only require one tack.
Small floral wreaths have no hanging hook, so that they can be hung on a nail or hook directly from their paper wrapped wire frame, in the direction of your choosing.
All tree stump standing sculptures are fitted with a cork base, to ensure the sculpture will not mark your furniture.
PACKAGING INFORMATION
Every sculpture is wrapped in tissue paper, in a cardboard box, adorned with paper ribbon. All packaging comes from recycled sources and can be recycled in your paper bin again, including any stickers or paper tape.
CARE INFORMATION
All sculptures are varnished with a UV protective lacquer, which keeps their colours bright and seals their edges. They are easy to care for; all they need is a tickle with a feather/microfibre duster every now and then. Wall sculptures hang on the wall via a copper coated steel hook, suspended by invisible fishing line at a drop of 30 cm from the top of the wreath.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
I aim to run as environmentally friendly a business as I can. All sculptures are made with recycled 300 GSM paper. Paints, lacquers and lustres are vegan. My sculptures are wrapped with entirely recyclable packaging, from the paper ribbon to tape. I use acrylic paints and plastic eyeballs and invisible fishing line to hang the wreaths, which I use sparingly to minimise waste.
