FIG branding and stationary

Branding and stationary for FIG – Flora Installation Gallery at the Royal Melbourne Botanic Gardens.

I’ve always been inspired by vintage botanical drawings.

I love collecting old books, wall paper, photographs and drawings.

Last week at the St Kilda night market, I came across a little old lady selling hundreds of vintage drawings dating back to the turn of the 19th century. I couldn’t believe my eyes! How wonderful! I bought a pile of original drawings of garden flowers. The paper is yellowing and the smell reminds me of old book. I love them!

These are some vintage books I found at Chapel Bazar. I turn to them for inspiration.
