Description

This is a whimsical double-headed flower, with lovehearts for petals and ladybirds to live on them.

This fanciful flower set has 16 separate magnets!
12 loveheart petals, 1 stem, 1 leave, 2 ladybird halves. This flower stem measures about 35cm tall!

I can create your set to a colour theme, and happy to create special or extra characters.

My magnetic sets are designed to be interactive; the flower can change by rearranging the petal hearts, the leaf can be placed anywhere, ladybirds can join to make a super-sized one to perch in the centre of a flower, or separate them to let them crawl up or down the stem... These petal hearts also become elaborate tail feathers for the lovebirds if you have a set of those too. Designed to become a visual narrative...

What is special about these, is that each magnet set is completely unique; guaranteed limited edition. They're tactile and textured, made by hand from scraps of wallpaper, wrapping paper, pre-loved buttons... they're made from things that were once very different, and otherwise destined to be thrown away after serving their original purpose.

I started making a series of whimsical characters for our daughter's bedroom wall which we have painted with magnetic paint (very easy to paint!) These have attracted a lot of admirers! The flowers look great on the kitchen fridge... or the dishwasher... or the washing machine.... or the side of the bath... or an oven tray proves a neat magnetic backing for a happy story-telling activity.

They're postage friendly by posting easily in a large envelope, so with Christmas looming here's an NZ-made gift for those overseas or around-the-country rellies.

Happy to combine postage, so be sure to check my other listings.
