Description
Create a visual narrative with these delightful lovebirds and cloud. This is a set of 7 separate magnets that are designed as something halfway between art and play; beautiful wall art that is also re arrangeable (see below for making a magnetic surface if you'd like to use these somewhere other than the fridge).
This set includes:
- 2 lovebirds
- 4 lovehearts / tailfeathers
- 1 whimsical cloud to perch on
As a guide, the cloud measures about 20cm long
This set upcycles various hand-picked materials; offcuts of selected papers, fabrics and re-purposed garments. The combination of these selected materials gives the decals a lovely tactile and textured quality. Each set is unique and guaranteed limited edition as I have only limited quantities of my cherished materials.
The backing is isotropic rubber magnet, so these not only look gorgeous on the fridge (or other magnetic surface), they can be functional by holding onto reminders, keepsakes, photos, recipes, invites etc.
My magnetic decals are super slim so they're postage friendly; they ship in an envelope for the cost of sending a letter - so these are an IDEAL gift to post locally or internationally.
Your set will come packaged simply in recycled paper with an illustration on the label of an arrangement suggestion.
This set is already made and ready to send! Although if you'd like a set like this in alternative colours let me know in a message when you checkout. e.g. brights/soft colours, florals, boyish/girlish, to go on a dark/light wall etc
Any questions? Please send me a message!
* The inspiration:
One day as I was making our daughter a bib out of a cute apple-print t-shirt I found at a local op-shop I looked twice at the oddly-shaped offcuts and envisioned the start of what was to become my community of whimsical decal characters... As a hoarding designer, my offcuts are cherished!
* Suggested uses:
Some of my customers have used a set for each child to hold onto school notices on a magnetic blackboard, some have been bought for bird-loving mothers-in-law to glam up their fridges, some are bought to transform a room as an interactive approach to wall decals, some become the holders of precious family photos, some just are loved as fridge art.

HOW THEY STICK TO THE WALL
If you’re interested in using a set somewhere other than the fridge, here’s a suggestion - create a magnetic canvas on any ordinary surface - we've painted a few spots of walls in our home with magnetic paint. This is easily done in half a day, but there as a permanent magnetic canvas for years to come!
I've written this how-to:

Resene makes a great magnetic paint which is available throughout the country.
