A basket of flowers, soft green leaves, pale blossoms, and a barely visible vase slowly fade into a muted sea green background, marked by scratches, rust, stains, and time.

A sweet floral image, but no longer too sweet.

The charm sits in that soft damage. The painted bouquet remains delicate, almost powdery, while the tin itself adds everything the original decoration probably never intended: worn edges, tiny scars, oxidised browns, faded colour, and the quiet dignity of an object that survived many cupboards.

Nothing here tries to be precious. It simply became beautiful by being kept, used, forgotten, and found again.

On textile, the faded greens and soft white flowers create a calm, almost misty surface. Up close, the scratches and rust bring texture and depth. From afar, the bouquet feels gentle and nostalgic without becoming sentimental.

A cookie tin where scratches, rust, and faded flowers became part of the beauty.
