Floral Jewelry (Earrings, Necklaces, Bracelets, & Bolo Ties)
To clean: wipe with a damp cloth. Do not submerge in water, this is especially important for soldered floral necklaces since the pendants are do not have an airtight seal.
Naturally dried flowers* will fade over time and with sun exposure. To promote longevity of their color, store earrings out of direct light when not in use. i.e. a jewelry box.
Soldered Florals & Mirrors
To clean: wipe with damp cloth. Do not submerge in water
Naturally dried flowers* will fade over time, it is best to display out of direct sun for longevity of color.
*Naturally dried flowers: No chemicals used and not color-corrected (when dye is added to flowers after pressing). The only flower we color correct are California Poppies due to the fact they fade so quickly. We use an alcohol based pigment to help the poppies keep their bright orange color.
Wooden Pins & Stickers
These are natural wood (Birch, Cherry & Maple) and unfinished, which makes them susceptible to water damage with prolonged exposure.
To clean: wipe with a damp cloth or hand wash with immediate drying. Do not soak.
Screen Printed Garments
All items are heat-set for longevity
Washer & Dryer safe. Best if washed cold with like colors.
Iron Safe
Cyanotype Garments
Washer & Dryer Safe. Best if washed cold with like colors.
Cyanotype is susceptible to bleaching (blue to yellow) when exposed to phosphates, sulfates, & bleach. Check your detergent before washing. I personally use Dr. Bronner’s on my personal cyanotype pieces.
Garments w/ Heat Transfer Designs
Wash inside out and on cold for longevity. Dry on low or hang dry.
