Happy February!
The first few days of February have been very busy for Owl and Wallflower...
I've made a small section of hardbound sketchbooks using upcycled vintage book pages as my last few proved so popular! There is a Spring theme for these ones, think wild Violets and nesting birds.
I've also added a few of these very lovely tiny collectable botanical prints to Owl and Wallflowers Etsy store. Which is your favourite? I just love the bluebells in the woodland!
I've started to press spring flowers in my vintage flower press. Hopefully these are the first of many springtime snowdrops. I'm planning on some really lovely snowdrop botanical lockets once these are ready!
I've been getting my pencils and watercolours out again for a little bit of painting, like this peacock butterfly below. This is something I wish to continue throughout February, whenever I get a chance, eventually amassing a small collection of butterfly, wildflower, birds and toadstool illustrations.
I spent a while photographing this Field fern locket, alongside my little green vintage Observers fern guide, ready for adding to Owl and Wallflowers Etsy store.
Botanical Lockets.. Larkspur, Narcissi, Viola, Queen Annes Lace, Potentilla and Marjorie Fair Rose.
Also - New! I have these three pressed flower lockets on a rose gold plated chain.. Queen Anne's Lace, dried Hydrangea and pressed Alchameila Mollis. I just adore rose gold, and may have to make another of these for myself!
Also, I had a mini update midweek with a few vintage Wildflower nature guides. The illustrations are all so beautiful and I will be wrapping up these books ready to send to their new homes tomorrow.
