'Laurel' Design
'Laurel' Custom Portrait Design
From the 'Beautiful Mind' series
Her mind was a garden. Her flowers were her thoughts and dreams- full of love, magic and wonderment. "To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow" Audrey Hepburn.
Antique laces, hand embossed onto 300gsm European paper.
Portrait is A3 to fit standard frames.
What is this Portrait?
Once painted, your portrait is meticulously hand embossed - an age old printing technique dating back to the 1400’s. I emboss (or press) precious pieces of European antique lace into beautiful French paper - a truly exquisite marriage of textures.
Archival inks, pencils, pastels, and the highest quality watercolours splash the paper, ensuring it becomes an heirloom to treasure for years to come.

Customer Reviews
Hi Col, thank you SO much for the most beautiful artwork portrait of my niece. It’s my second one now, my first of my daughter. They are both so unique and special. Lots of love xx
Our son Freddie passed away in 2021 at 4.5 months old, and as I navigated grief and the loss community I kept seeing Col’s beautiful portraits pop up. We decided for his fourth birthday this year we would have Col paint our beautiful boy, and we are so thrilled with the way she has captured his cheeky face and personality. Col was so warm and empathetic throughout the whole process, and her care and attention to detail is so evident. Freddie’s portrait hangs pride of place in our living room and makes us smile every day.
Thank you so much Col ❤️
