The Keeper of Lost Things

Measuring 17,5 cm x 14 cm (or 19 cm with open wings), this articulated paper volvelle-bird is inspired by this small and original story of fantastic ornithology:

“The Keeper of Lost Things is a rather vain and charming little fluffy bird, known for her insatiable habit of collecting forgotten treasures. She wanders through the world with an eye for beauty, always drawn to the small, discarded objects that others have seemingly abandoned. Or perhaps, as she would say, the things that no one else truly understands. Whatever the reason, she cannot resist tucking these little gems beneath the folds of her shimmering feathers. Mother-of-pearl buttons, rusted keys, old teapots, and jars filled with perfumed memories become her prized possessions… Everything she collects brings a flicker of life to her world.”

Handcrafted with 300 gsm watercolor paper and tacks, this creature allows gentle movement and repositioning. While she’s designed to be flexible, I recommend keeping her framed most of the time to preserve her delicate nature.

Print Specifications

From the printer– “These Archival Pigment Prints (aka. Giclée Prints) are created on 320 gsm Sihl Cotton Rag fine art paper. The print process utilises a professional 12 colour Epson printer, fitted with genuine Pigment inks to create archival prints. That means the prints are colourfast for 200 years, when kept out of direct sunlight and behind glass. Certified with ISO 9706 (FograCert 28800) for ageing resistance.) These are museum quality reproductions.

The fine art paper we chose with María’s work in mind has a very fine texture, is silky soft and was selected for its consistency, its acid free & the natural high white colour works really well with María’s illustrations and pattern designs.”
