"Borage for Courage" is a common herbalist's phrase, describing the gentle strength of this delightful fuzzy plant. Borage plants have edible periwinkle flowers that taste a bit like cucumber. This prolific plant grows in my garden every year, re-seeding itself.
Last Summer, I became obsessed with pressing and drying borage flowers, because of their beautiful curving shapes. I pressed many many pieces of borage, studying their shapes and expressions. I have been drawing these pressed stems, and working with them in the studio in a variety of ways. I'm interested finding new ways to create with plants; this translation process helped me draw and create in new ways.
Hand Screenprinted with natural madder root dye! Each pair is unique.
Super soft and stretchy tencel rib fabric, finished with gentle pink lace elastic.
