Lisa Perrin's illustrated seeds

What beautiful seed packets! I love it when something that could be considered so through away and insignificant is given importance by the design of its packaging. I don't think I have ever thought "I would love to keep this seed packet" but these beautifully illustrated seeds by Lisa Perrin are just lovely.  

The project was a collaboration from Anthropologie (love, love, love Anthropologie) and The Hudson Valley Seed Library. Perrin illustrated three seed packets of Sweet Basil, Lemon Balm, and English Thyme.

Lisa Perrin works from Lake Erie, Cleveland, OH and has featured in some great American publications. Her work explores themes of humour, strange worlds, Eastern European Jewish folk tales, traditional Victorian designs, as well as nature. I like her use of colour, her artworks are bold and confident.
