Tropical Colours series
A series of cards with a design based on modern themes and on natural dyes from tropical America. The design panels all use textiles dyed with natural dyes on a base of handmade paper that often incorporates plant and vegetable intrusions.
Each 6" by 4" folded card (15cm by 10cm) is made from 100% recycled materials and bears a unique design on the centre of the front cover. The designs comprise a handmade paper background with a foreground of silk dyed with natural dyes and natural intrusions. All the cards are unique and the design may vary from the photograph.
The inside of the card is left blank for your own message.
