Our Night Sky greeting card designs are inspired by the night sky and feature stars, galaxies, suns and planets, using natural dyes from Europe and the UK. The design panels all use textiles dyed with natural dyes on a base of handmade paper.
Each 6" by 4" (15 by 10 cm) handmade greetings card bears a unique design on the centre of the front cover.
