View Floral Mosaic Collection

We have two types of bookmarks. The first type is made with coloured textured card stock. All design elements including butterflies are made with real leaves, flowers, and petals.

The second type are miniature giclées printed on stiff Velvet Fine Art Paper made of 100% cotton rag with acid free base and bright white surface. The art was designed exclusively for the bookmarks using small pressed flowers.

All our Greeting Cards are 4.75" x 7", bi-fold style. These are fine giclée reproductions of the original pressed flower designs found in our Oshibana collection. The cards are printed on brilliant white Enhanced Matte paper. All are blank inside. Each card comes with a smooth finish, pure white, 70 lb basis weight envelope. They may be matted and framed or used as memorable greeting cards.

Real Leaves & Flowers Bookmarks

Giclée Bookmarks

In this collection fragments of botanic elements are used in a brush stroke or mosaic-like fashion, creating a ‘floral mosaic’. Here the word ‘floral’ is derived from ‘flora’ or plant life. This method allows the artist to achieve the light and shadow effects using fragments of different shades of pressed plant materials to create images with detailed texture, depth, and colour.

In this collection whole plant elements, such as stems, leaves, and blooms are used. The method is similar to Japanese Oshibana.
