Surprise… I’m making a new magazine! – Rebecca Desnos

Update: the magazine is now available to order here.

I have something very special to share with you today… I’ve been secretly working on a project for the past few months: a new magazine! Let’s take a quick look at the cover design.

Plant Forage Make is a new magazine for plant lovers and crafters. This special journal is like a hug, designed to lift your mood, encourage you to slow down and pay attention to the natural world around you.

Topic for Volume 1 Perfume. Contributors from around the world look at the positive effects of botanical scents on our mood and well-being, sharing recipes with fragrant flowers and herbs, natural dyeing tutorials, as well as foraging, cooking and gardening ideas.

The journal is designed to be a special little book that you will cherish forever.

It is published by me (Rebecca Desnos) a natural dyer and independent publisher in the UK. My vision is to combine different plant crafts and explore our connection with plants. Let’s celebrate plant creativity in all its forms together!
