A beautiful independently published magazine by Rebecca Desnos.
Each edition of the magazine will have a selection of conversations with creatives and plant lovers that come from different perspectives, and explore their relationships with plants (and also each other).
Plants Are Magic is a series of dialogues and offerings to promote self-reflection and help nurture a deeper connection with plants.
There will be interviews with plant lovers, gardeners, florists, herbalists, dyers, artists and makers. Each issue of the magazine will have several step-by-step tutorials for making a range of different plant crafts/recipes/home remedies written by specialists in these areas.
I've noticed that many people who start botanical dyeing come to it from different, yet related backgrounds - herbalists, aromatherapists, gardeners, plant lovers, florists and artists, to name just a few. Everyone comes to it with their own unique perspective.
I find these different angles so thought provoking for my own textile practice and also from a personal point of view - as a woman, a mother and someone who is trying to reconnect with nature in this busy, modern world.
As editor, the narrative of the magazine will of course come from my perspective - that of a natural dyer, maker and plant lover. I am literally creating my dream magazine and of course I hope that it will bring you joy too.
