10 Nov OUR PACKAGING JOURNEY – ROSE BOTANICAL
We haven’t really shared in any great detail our packaging journey with you – what inspired us to evolve into botanical/floral images for our packaging, why we have the florals we have – so we are going to do a journal series showcasing all our inspiration and stories behind each of our florals …. we hope you enjoy the journey ……
OUR ROSE BOTANICAL – INSPIRED BY GEORG DIONYSIUS EHRET
OUR BEAUTIFUL ROSE BOTANICAL – ONE OF OUR SIGNATURE BOTANICAL/FLORALS AND WE LOVE IT IN OUR TWO COLOURWAYS
OUR ROSE ARTWORK IS INSPIRED BY GERMAN BOTANICAL ARTIST GEORG DIONYSIUS EHRET’S GORGEOUS ROSE BOTANICAL IMAGE (SHOWN ABOVE). GEORG WAS A LEADING BOTANICAL ARTIST IN THE 1700’S AND WE DISCOVERED HIS WORK IN A VINTAGE BOOK OF BOTANICAL IMAGES WE PURCHASED AT A BOOK FAIR – BACK IN AROUND 2012 WHEN WE WERE WRAPPING OUR CANDLES IN VINTAGE BOOK PAGES. HIS DRAWINGS REALLY INSPIRED OUR JOURNEY INTO EVOLVING OUR CANDLE PACKAGING INTO FLORAL WORKS OF ART ….
ROSES ARE ALSO VERY SPECIAL TO OUR PARENTS (GEORGE & DAWN) – THEY BELONG TO A ROSE SOCIETY AND HAVE SPENT YEARS PROPAGATING AND GROWING ROSES – THEY HAVE A VERY IMPRESSIVE ROSE GARDEN … SO WE HAVE WANTED A ROSE IMAGE FOR A FEW YEARS NOW AND ARE EXCITED TO FINALLY HAVE ONE IN OUR FLORAL COLLECTION
