'THE AUTHENTIC PATH' Dragonfly & Fern Embroidered Patch, featuring the Emperor dragonfly and delicate ferns. This patch is like a badge of honour for anyone on a journey of learning and growing.
With fossils dating back 300 million years, dragonflies are among the earliest winged insects and are emblems of transformation. Ferns are much older than dinosaurs and in the Victorian secret language of flowers, they were used to convey sincerity.
A PERFECT GIFT FOR:
🌱 Those who love starting exciting projects
🌱 Graduates, career changers and entrepreneurs
🌱 Spiritual seekers and those celebrating personal milestones
PRESENTATION
This embroidered art (11.5cm x 9cm), featuring my original design, comes in an A6 presentation card containing the natural history and cultural symbolism behind the species.
This is a gift for nature lovers, starts great conversations and teaches you amazing facts about the natural world.
WHY IT’S SPECIAL
✨ Connects you with nature
✨ Teaches you amazing facts about the natural world
✨ Starts fun conversations with friends
SIZE
The patch is 11.5 x 9 cm, and comes inside an A6 presentation card with a moss green envelope.
It’s colour fast, so it won't fade.
HOW TO ATTACH YOUR PATCH
This art patch is intricately embroidered and is designed to be mounted on a hard or stiff surface.
🍀 To frame or mount on a book cover, you can use double sided tape or glue.
🍀 To attach your patch to fabric, like a canvas bag, flag or stiff jacket, I would recommend stitching, or using fabric glue. You may find the latter easier and you can get glues that are resistant to washing, if you want to wash your bag or jacket. The patch is machine washable and colour fast if you do choose to wash it.

We put a lot of love into our products, and are confident you will be very happy with them. But, if for any reason at all you want to return them, that is no problem at all. Returns and exchanges are accepted within 14 days of delivery, but we ask they are returned in the same condition they arrived with you.

How they are made
The gatefold presentation cards from each patch are printed in the UK on uncoated stock made from 100% genuine de-inked post consumer waste and FSC® certified. Made in an industry leading mill to strict ISO 14001 standards for environmental management, it is chlorine free (PCF) significantly reducing water contamination from processing.
I collaborate with a well-established UK company that partners with a small family-run factory in Ganzhou, renowned for its commitment to ethical and environmental standards. This partnership ensures safe working conditions, protection of workers’ rights, and the use of certified, and where possible, recycled materials. The factory, founded 16 years ago, is now strategically located near the homes of all local employees (very unusual in China), and benefits from a stable, well-compensated workforce with 50 employees. This close-knit approach fosters not only high-quality production but also a deep commitment to ethical practices.
