Bianca Trevino
Artist
Starting my artistic journey in 2011, the desire to create art that I attained soon became an unyielding obligation to myself to explore the inner mechanism of my creative consciousness. From small sketches to large scale projects, my art is a highly-personal reflection of myself and my life. I’ve been lucky enough to have live and created across 6 continente where I have participated in many collaborative projects, as well as exhibiting in a solo capacity. If you would like to find out more about my process, get in touch.
PROVIDING WOMEN A DIGNIFIED WORK

in West Africa, Southeast Asia, and USA. The quartz used in the capsule are collected thru our travels around the globe.

Our TRAVEL SET´s includes two bags, (17.5 x 13 x 3.5 cm) & (26 x 20.5 x 4.5 cm)
For the nature of our products each item is unique. Color and design varies from leaf to leaf. Ellen is the original color the teak leaf gets when dry. All others are colored with natural, chemical-free pigments. The color of you item may differ from a lighter to a darker tone from the one pictured on your screen but in essence it maintains the core color value. Thank you for your understanding.

Our artisans pick-up dry leaves, soak them in water for several days to help them become soft. Then add natural pigment, if color other than beige or green are needed. After, they hand place one leaf at the time on a large deckle. We cover them and press them with a heavy stone for several days to help them dry and attach flat to one-another. When dry we have a paper-like thin leaf sheet, which we waterproof and later hand cut to create our one-of-a-kind products
