Description
Handcrafted in Ballina by artist Hideo Aoyama, these pressed flower cards blend botanical beauty with artisanal skill. A thoughtful, beautiful card for any occasion.
Featuring Australian Golden Wattle (Acacia Pycnantha) flowers against a butter yellow backdrop. The Australian Golden Wattle is Australia's national floral emblem and for many First Nations groups, the blooming of the golden wattle signals a profound seasonal shift in the environment, guiding ecological knowledge, harvesting, and cultural practices.
Made with love, Hideo grows the flowers, presses them, photographs them and prints them. Printed on high quality recycled card. Each Pressed Flower Card blank inside and is supplied with a plain brown recycled envelope.
Cards measure 15cm H x 10.5cm when closed.
