🟡 Description
A one-of-a-kind framed piece from the Sweet Nothings collection, combining poetry, printmaking, and hand-crafted detail.
At the centre sits the original Joy sweet packet print (edition of 10), featuring typewritten text layered onto striped paper. This is framed within a vibrant, hand-cut mount made from a misprint woodcut on delicate shoji paper, creating a soft interplay between precision and imperfection.
The bold yellow frame and radiating background bring warmth and energy to the piece, echoing the sentiment of the poem. A quiet, resilient kind of joy.
Each element has been carefully composed by hand, making this a unique artwork rather than a reproduction.
Please note: some photographs show the frame without its acrylic glazing to avoid glare during photography. The piece will be supplied with glazing fitted.
🟡 Inspiration
Joy reflects on the feeling of light returning after darker periods — the kind of warmth that feels both grounding and unexpected.
The layered materials mirror this idea: structured stripes, soft translucent paper, and the imperfect beauty of a misprint brought into focus again with care.
🟡 Perfect Gift
– A meaningful gift for someone going through a new chapter
– Ideal for lovers of poetry and thoughtful artwork
– A bright, uplifting addition to a home or studio space
– Perfect for collectors of small edition, original works
