Along side Kirsty’s ‘sculptural’ creations she also makes decorative boxes. Virtually all of them are decorated using a unique ‘Highland lichen’ design print which is added to the lids of the boxes using a developed process.
The boxes are available in different colours and sizes, and have metal corner protectors and elaborate clasps. The boxes are lined and they sometimes have a sculpted element on the lid. Some also have copper or pewter sheeting on the lid which, once the lichen print is attached, looks like foil…
The print is produced from a photograph Kirsty took of a patch of beautiful lichen on a boulder in the Scottish highlands.
The print is made into a water slide decal which is then attached to the box. They are also available with a copper or pewter sheet attached to the lid.
