Thank you to everyone who came by my booth at the craft show this weekend! It was really great to meet you all in person and to see everyone's reaction to my bowls and pillows. My pin pods were a great success (lots of squishing going on) so I hope to have some up on my Etsy page soon. :) :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Papaver Vert :::::: using an old-world technique to create a natural and modern line of hand felted decorative pillows and accessories for the home.
Papaver Vert means Green Poppy in Latin and French. As of yet, no green poppies exist making this a rare thing indeed. This could be seen as the basis of Papaver Vert. Each pillow is hand made from scratch using the ancient and labor-intensive craftsmanship of hand felting wool from its semi-raw form. They are made from 100% merino wool, which makes them not only luxuriously soft but a renewable and eco-friendly material.
The felt making process is a laborious one that creates a truly unique piece of art, making each one of my pillows slightly different from the next.
:::About the Wool Bowls::: The felted bowls are made in a different way than the pillows. They are first hand crocheted using either 100% wool or 85/15 wool/mohair yarn, then wet-felted through several wash cycles, dried around molds and finally steam blocked.
I am very proud to say that the yarn used for my felted wool/mohair bowls is processed and dyed in the U.S from sheep raised in the U.S.
