A SPECIAL SERVICE FOR YOU

RhosaSpinaDesign is delighted to offer special projects revolving around the ancient art of adding meanings to plants and animals that reached its climax during the Victorian Age.

Whether it is a romantic gift for a special one or a thank you note, with the aid of original or specialistic texts, RhSD may cover a large array of messages in your favourite style and medium. Your feelings come to life under the hands of the artist, who, after rigorous research, transforms your words into images to be exported and printed on the surface of your choice: textile, stationary, household items, art prints. There is no limit to your immagination!. Of course, due to the varied and often contradictory historical sources, the process itself is more an art than a science.

Colour your emotions with a tailored project no one else but you will possess. Order now your exclusive design!
