Forget- me- not puddle plate

Forget-me-nots are one of my favourite flowers; delicate, elongated stems capped off with a bonny blue bloom. They're symbolic of elegance, true love, enduring friendship, and remembrance of those who have passed. 

During the summer months they grew in proliferation in the garden; a swaying blue breeze of happiness. I picked hundreds of them and pressed them in anticipation for upcoming resin projects. One such project was to create a bespoke Puddle Plate for a client of mine. She wanted a special gift for a dear friend who lost her grandmother. The forget-me-not blooms were the ideal flower for this request. 

I created a crystal clear puddle of resin, which had trapped layers of tiny Forget-me-not and 24k gold leaf. It was reminiscent of a little dish that had been left out in a rain shower, and had collected tiny botanical treasures. The overall effect was a unique and very personal memento for her friend, and a precious reminder of her grandma.

Lost Forest foxes

Meet the Lost Forest foxes; Goldie and Rosie. These little sparkly creatures are brand new special edition eco resin ring holders. I only made two from a spare batch of resin I had (we don't waste anything in the Lost Forest studio). Goldie is a vibrant fancy fox, enrobed in 24k gold leaf, while Rosie is more fiery, cloaked in shimmering 24k rose gold leaf. Their bushy tails and perky ears are the perfect place to store your most precious rings. They make a whimsical and stylish addition to your vanity unit or table top, and are sure to become cherished Lost Forest treasures.

{Update: Goldie and Rosie are now sold out but will be returning in the new year}
