Dear Everyone ~
Actually, they’ve arrived, and we're chuffed!
Illustrator Eleanor Percival grew up with avid gardener parents.
Her whimsical botanical cards make a bright splash,
from single blooms in glorious detail to lovely little nosegays.
We are smitten with the decorative border on her teacup’s saucer,
and with the chevroned ribbon on her For You package.
The artist’s handwriting is definitely part of her cards’ charm.
The cards are printed on heavy, textured paper that is
receptive to all manner of writing implements, including Sharpies.
Prepare to pitter-pattern!
We’ve received our new order of cards from The Pattern Book:
a veritable colour wheel of chromatic nuance and delirium,
plus a pair of Fly Agaric Mushrooms we couldn’t resist.
In fact, we welcome this fungus among us.
The new selection of cards still includes a detailed
attribution on the back (plus a tasteful snippet or miniature
of the design on the front). One of our favourites is:
Spectra of Daylight Through Coloured Glass & Vapours
adapted from diagrams by William Allen Miller (1845).
Miller also studied the spectrum of starlight and was one of the
first scientists to determine what stars are made of.
