Hand carved from lime wood. This piece comes presented in a simple white box frame.
Llew uses the art of floriography (the secret language of flowers) as inspiration for his contemporary twist on Welsh tradition of lovespoon making. By integrating this Victorian trend into his lovespoons Llew is able to complement historic symbolic messaging that is traditionally associated with Welsh lovespoons which were historically given to lovers to signify promises of family, security, and love.
