Nature inspired gifts

As i am a big fan of nature, i decided to look for some nature inspired gifts in google.
One of the links was to pinterest so i had a browse through.

This neckpiece which is made up of leaves stood out to me especially, as for my last project i had to make a neckpiece using florals. There is alot of detail in this neckpiece which reminds me of my own neckpiece as i have put a lot of time and effort into my finished piece to ensure i could capture as much detail as i could.

I think something like this would make a great gift as it would be thoughtful as you have spent a lot of time making it.

Gift - Anthropolgie

I love this plate and I bought it on our trip to london as i am going to make a plate display on one wall floor to ceiling!

I love it because its is nice and bright and cheerful and i love the bird and plant design

Gift - Cushion

I like this cushion although i would prefer it without the pop of red, i think it would have looked much better if they stuck to just a black print. This would make a great gift never the less!!

Gift - butterflies

Beautiful hand made butterfly brooches! These look great on your favourite cardigan, coat or bag. They are all different using free hand embroidery, backed on to three layers of the best wool felt. Once pinned on to you garment, you can tease the wings out to a more 3D shape, so they look like they are about to fly away! A perfect little gift for lovers of all things with pretty wings.

I really like these butterflies and i did have the idea of making my own at some point but now that i have seen them on somebody elses website i have changed my mind!! The ones i would make would be real species of butterflies rather than these stylized ones.

Textile Heart Brooch

This attracted my attention on the notonthehighstreet website as i have seen millions of similar items on the high street.
I do like the branding of the item though and it would make a nice little gift.
