Nepali artisans ----- Description ----- This serene Felted Flower Stem brings the quiet beauty of early spring meadows with its layered mint-green petals and sunny golden center. Nepali artisans have meticulously hand-crafted each element from premium New Zealand wool, creating a botanical treasure that brings tranquil garden charm to any arrangement. The graceful arc of the vibrant green stem and trio of deep emerald leaves provide perfect contrast to the delicate double blooms with their dimensional texture. Perfect standing alone in slender vessels, paired with complementary felted stems, or incorporated into seasonal tablescapes, this refined creation offers the serene presence of woodland flowers in a form that endures through changing seasons. A beautiful intersection of artisanal craftsmanship and botanical inspiration, where nature's most calming hues become preserved in wool's soft embrace for year-round enjoyment in any thoughtfully composed space. ----- More to the Story ----- Each item is handmade of 100% wool from New Zealand through the ancient technique of felt making. By adding warm soapy water to wool and then pressing and rubbing, the fibers will tighten into a felted textile material. Gradually, as the fibers are tightening together, the items are shaped into their final form - flower, heart, bird, etc. Once it is dried, it is ready for its final embellishments. ----- About Fair Trade ----- These products are 100% Fair Trade certified by the World Fair Trade Organization and made by skilled Nepalese women.
