Introducing our exquisite Big Hair Floral Gift Cards, a perfect blend of creativity and nature. Each card is meticulously handcrafted using dried plants and flowers, making them not just a card, but a piece of art. These cards are ideal for those moments when you want to uplift a friend having a 'bad hair day' or simply to let someone know you appreciate their beauty. With a touch of whimsy, these cards say, 'Oh what the heck, who needs hair?' and are sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.
Measuring at 6 7/8" tall and 4 3/4" wide, these cards are the perfect size for any occasion. Each card is unique, reflecting the creativity and artistry of the women who craft them. The process begins with the collection of leaves, flowers, and plants from the surrounding countryside of El Salvador, where nature provides an abundance of materials.
The artisans of Artecomasagua, a collective of women in El Salvador, take great pride in their work. They dry flower petals and leaves between the pages of old books, preserving their beauty. Once dried, a little wood glue is used to adhere them to the cards, creating a stunning visual effect. Each card is a testament to the skill and dedication of these talented women, who work in a joyful and peaceful environment.
Artecomasagua was formed as a response to the economic challenges faced by coffee cultivation in the region. This organization empowers women entrepreneurs by providing them with a platform to create and sell their beautiful designs. By using local wildflowers and sustainable practices, they not only support their families but also contribute to the preservation of their environment.
Women like Guadalupe and Ana Cecilia have found a sense of pride and purpose through their work with Artecomasagua. Guadalupe shares, "Now I have more control over my life," as she dreams of sending her daughter to college. Ana Cecilia expresses her joy, stating, "Work makes me feel important as a person. I dream of flowers and create with my imagination." Their stories highlight the transformative power of fair trade and artisan craftsmanship.
Artecomasagua operates under a fair trade model, ensuring that all artisans work in safe and healthy conditions. This commitment not only uplifts the artisans but also fosters a sense of community and responsibility. The town of Comasagua, located 16 km SSW of Nueva San Salvador, is home to these remarkable women who are dedicated to their craft and their families.
