About Florique
My name is Carolyn and I am an anthophile - a lover of flowers! Whether they are blossoming in my garden or crafted to last they are bright spots of beauty that I love to nurture or do my best to reproduce in my (rather messy) craft room.
Outdoors, I enjoy the challenge of growing healthy, blooming plants in my sand dune on the Kapiti Coast - compost and mulch are my gardening friends!
Where possible I source materials locally. This includes op shops, local businesses, and family & friends.
The dried and pressed flowers are grown in my own garden.
Card and paper flowers are made from premium cardstock and quality German crepe paper (from Werola). I also upcycle old books, maps and sheet music to a new life as pretty flowers.
