Love Letters to Flowers

As I carefully press each delicate petal, I can't help but feel like I'm writing a love letter to the flowers themselves. There's something so captivating about the way they transform when dried and preserved, almost as if they're telling their own unique stories.

At Earth Tone, my passion for floral artwork and botanical homeware stems from this deep appreciation for the quiet beauty of nature. Each pressed flower frame or painting I create is a celebration of the small, intricate details we might otherwise miss in the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Slowing down to press flowers has taught me to notice the subtleties, the way a petal curls just so, or how the veins in a leaf catch the light. These are the moments that inspire my work, reminding me that growth and creativity can happen in the most gentle of ways. One small tweak to my framing process, for example, completely transformed the look and feel of a flowery frame, making it even more unique and special.

Of course, the heart of what I do lies in the handmade craftsmanship that goes into each piece. Every item is carefully crafted by my own two hands, using eco-friendly materials that respect and honour the natural world. I take pride in the sustainable choices I make with FSC-certified oak wood in my frames. To me, this level of care and attention is what makes a pressed flower framed creation truly one-of-a-kind.

But beyond the artistic process, the real magic happens when I get to preserve people's most cherished memories. Whether it's a wedding bouquet, a handful of wildflowers from a hike, or a single bloom from a loved one's garden, each pressed flower holds so much meaning. I'm honoured to play a part in keeping those stories alive, transforming them into beautiful keepsakes that will be treasured for years to come.

In a way, this is my ongoing love letter to the flowers themselves,  an ode to their resilience, their quiet strength, and their ability to capture our hearts and imaginations. By slowing down to press and preserve their beauty, I hope to inspire others to reconnect with nature, to notice the small wonders all around them, and to bring a little bit of that natural magic into their own homes.

So whether you're looking to adorn your walls with a one-of-a-kind pressed flower frame or searching for the perfect gift to commemorate a special occasion, I invite you to explore the collection at Earth Tone. Each piece is handmade with love in Southampton, and many can be personalised to your heart's desire.

After all, isn't that what flowers are all about, expressing the things that words sometimes fail to capture? Let me help you write your love letter to the natural world.
