Update: the magazine is now available to order here.
I have something very special to share with you today… I’ve been secretly working on a project over these past few months: a new magazine! Here’s a sneak peek of the cover design.
Plant Forage Make is a new magazine for plant lovers and crafters.This special magazine is like a hug, designed to lift your spirits, encourage you to slow down and take notice of the natural world around you.
The theme for volume 1 is Scent. Contributors from around the world look at the positive effect of botanical scents on our mood and wellbeing, share recipes with scented flowers and herbs, natural dyeing tutorials, as well as foraging, cooking and gardening ideas.
The magazine is designed to be a special little book that you’ll cherish forever.
It’s published by me (Rebecca Desnos) a natural dyer and independent publisher in the UK. My vision is to unite different plant crafts and explore our relationship with plants. Together, let’s celebrate plant creativity in every form!
