Paeony Candle

Delightful commission this month to design the labelling for a beautiful scented candle created by Apothecary64 in Penarth. The original design is illustrated above and you can see it has been gently faded to produce a subtle decoration that goes round all four sides of the presentation box. The central peony is used for the candle label. 
I was delighted to be gifted one, it's lovely, scented with peony and rose plus other secret ingredients.

Hellebores

I couldn't resist a second photo of my hellebore bed, it has been excellent this year. They are such a lovely thing to have in the garden, with  a very long flowering period. These are showing no sign of winding down.
