Friday Focus Flower πΈ - The Geraldton Wax flower
This week, the focus is on the delicate Geraldton Wax.
Native to Western Australia, Geraldton Wax is known for its clusters of small, wax-like flowers and fine, needle-shaped foliage. Its dainty blooms may be small, but together they create a beautifully full and textured display.
Geraldton Wax is often associated with lasting love, patience and enduring affection, making it a meaningful addition to wedding, anniversary and keepsake bouquets.
Each tiny flower in our paper version is individually shaped and assembled by hand, capturing the delicate detail and natural character of this much-loved Australian native. π

Friday Focus Flower πΏ - The Bottlebrush
This week the focus is on the vibrant Australian Bottlebrush.
Known for its distinctive brush-like flowers and ability to thrive in tough conditions, the Bottlebrush symbolises resilience, renewal and the incredible beauty of Australia's native flora. It also provides an important source of nectar for our native birds and bees.π
Creating a paper Bottlebrush has been one of our most rewarding challenges. Capturing its distinctive texture, vibrant colour and natural form takes time, patience and plenty of attention to detail, but that's all part of bringing the beauty of our Australian natives to life in paper. π
Happy Friday! π«Ά

Friday Focus Flower π - The Hakea
This week, the focus is on the beautiful Australian native Hakea.

Here's a little behind-the-scenes look at our paper Hakea, which is still a work in progress. We're continuing to refine each detail as we work to capture the beauty of this remarkable native flower in paper.
We can't wait to share the finished piece with you!
