Aster (Daisy) Flower Card with Poem

In 2016 I made (and wrote!) an art book based on the small wonders of Martha's Vineyard's flowers: the smaller, quieter greenery that most people walk right by. Words and images were based on research perfomed in conjunction with the experts at Polly Hill Arboretum

When the first edition of this book (featuring laser cut flower shapes) was sold out, I made a "First Printed Edition" instead. Expect 10 bright, colorful, detailed flower silhouettes paired with small few-lined insights (some may call them poems...) into the magical world of the island. Being hand bound, signed, and personally numbered this first edition holds a lot of love.

The printing for the First Printed Edition is done locally on Martha's Vineyard. I use handmade papers as accents along the binding, all made with local flowers and seaweeds. Every copy is signed and numbered out of 150.

The Vineyard Magic flowers are also available as a series of ten blank folded cards, each featuring words and pictures originally made and used in the book. Available individually or a full set of ten, each card comes with a matching envelope. The front of the card and edge of the envelope have a deckled edge to add that rustic feel of the wildflowers and magical story.
