13 Nov OUR PACKAGING JOURNEY – CACTI BOTANICAL
We haven’t really shared in any great detail our packaging journey with you – what inspired us to evolve into botanical/floral artworks 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 CACTI BOTANICAL – INSPIRED BY GEORG DIONYSIUS EHRET
OUR PLAYFUL CATCI BOTANICAL – ONE OF OUR NEW SIGNATURE BOTANICAL/FLORALS ALSO INSPIRED BY GEORG EHRET AND WE CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF IT!
WE HAVE LOVED GEORG EHRET’S CACTI ARTWORK ‘OPUNTIA; MAJOR VALIDISSIMIS SPINIS MUNITA’, 1758 (SHOWN TOP LEFT) FOR MANY YEARS, BUT IT NEVER JOINED OUR FAMILY AS WE DIDN’T FEEL IT WOULD WORK VERY WELL WRAPPED AROUND OUR CANDLES. WHILST CREATING OUR NEW ‘UNFOLDING’ CANDLE BOXES, WE DECIDED TO LOOK AT THIS ONE AGAIN ….
WE REALLY WANTED OUR CACTI TO HAVE A LITTLE WHIMSY AND PLAYFULNESS ABOUT IT, SO WE LOOKED AT HOW WE COULD MAKE THIS GORGEOUS INSPIRATION IMAGE WORK ON OUR NEW CANDLE BOX. WE IMAGINED IT AS A FULL PLANT, WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE AND DREW A FEW ROUGH SKETCHES OF POSSIBLE OPTIONS. OUR ARTIST THEN WORKED HER MAGIC AND CREATED SOMETHING WE LOVE – IT HAS OUR MUCH WANTED PLAYFULNESS AND WHIMSY AND MAKES US SMILE. WE HOPE YOU LOVE THIS CUTE LITTLE PLAYFUL CACTI AS MUCH AS WE DO
