FOR THE LOVE OF ORNAMENTS

Getting lost in the endless creative possibilities of arranging shapes and flourishes together to re-create images truly makes my creative soul sing!

It’s a little know fact that my design aesthetics seems to fall into the Pareidolia* category!

*Pareidolia: the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern.


SMALL BATCH PRINTS

Small batch prints - WHY? Simply put, Arquoise is not a large scale production studio. Each card is a hand-made original, carefully designed and hand-printed with love and intention. Arquoise was created as a soulful endeavour with a purpose to spread sparkles of light, kindness, thoughtful giving and love through tiny paper products. All cards are printed on premium 100% cotton paper and paired with a cheerful mixed fibre colour envelope.


Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.
