from 12 reviewsI love Elena's botanical pieces especially Olive branch watercolour painting which I've got as a print.
The print captures the soft, soothing colors and delicate details of the original artwork perfectly. The shades of greens are just right, and you can really see the Elena’s skill in how natural and calming it looks.
The print itself is high quality, with a nice texture that enhances the watercolor effect. The colors are bright but not too much, making it a lovely piece to display. Whether you frame it or just hang it up, it adds a peaceful, natural touch to any room. If you enjoy simple, beautiful art, this olive branch print is a wonderful choice.

I bought these stickers for myself but as soon as my kids caught a glimpse of them they took them for themselves! My daughter stuck some on her book bag and her teachers and friends at school always compliment the bird stickers. They are beautiful and great quality too 🩷

It's very hard reviewing a product you haven't received yet. I am still waiting. It's taking longer than I had imagined.

About The Sewing Sailor
Elena is the artist and creator behind The Sewing Sailor.
She has been in love with crafting, creating and nature since she was a child.
Elena grew up in Italy visiting Art Museums and gardening with her mum and learning from her creative family all their amazing skills, immersed in the beauty of the Italian countryside, making these to become her own heritage and passions.
Elena is a creative addict and an unstoppable gardener.
After travelling the world as a professional athlete, she spent 5 years sailing around the world, never stopping creating, mainly sewing. This is where the name of the shop comes from and she simply loves it!
On the way Elena has been lucky enough to discover wonderful places and fall even more in love with nature.
She became a scuba diving instructor and has been deeply touched by ocean pollution, actively cleaning up and replanting corals in the reef.
In March 2020 she decided to give it a go to watercolors, a new medium to her, connected to water.
Her childhood and travels are her main inspiration, nature her muse, and environmental conservation is her mission.
The Sewing Sailor products are all handmade by Elena in New Zealand, from A to NZ, with special attention for every detail. She reproduces her watercolour paintings into luxury stationery, 100% handmade.
Being a great supporter of the environment, Elena uses eco-friendly, recycled, luxury materials, with recycled and biodegradable packaging.
We hope that The Sewing sailor can pass on to you Elena's love for Mother nature, for our Earth and Oceans and help us all to live in a cleaner, beautiful world.
