Fallen Leaves: oB x Botanical Inks

  • Louise Honey

I had the pleasure of working with Milly of oB and Babs of Botanical Inks to present a two-year in the making project; Fallen Leaves. I wrote the feature content as well as uploading each individual item to the ecommerce webstore, complete the unique product copy and an appealing layout that shared insight into the project. Celebrating the natural colours of the earth and appropriately released just a few days after autumn equinox, the result of the project is seven super special and one of a kind shirts, made from consciously sourced Khadi cotton and hand painted using oak and chestnut pigment. It is projects like this that really remind me why I admire craftsmanship and collaboration so much, and why I am so grateful to be working with such creators. Using the fruits of nature, the knowledge of creating natural inks and presenting through pattern cutting and sewn fabric. Wearable items that carry a story and bring us closer to the earth…all while carrying their own personality, and allowing us to express our own.
