Prune Damson Collage
Shropshire Prune Damson Collage.
Part of my new series of collages based around lost and forgotten foods from the UK. Each collaged person holds a unique and special food item and is dressed in clothes I have designed, inspired by historic photos.
Here are some Shropshire Prune Damsons. This beautiful prune damson is part of the plum family. These particular prunes were very popular within orchards and hedgerows around Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Montgomeryshire up until recent years. They were particularly well loved as a dye making plant. Due to lack of demand for the dye they produce and less people cooking with them their orchards and hedgerows are in decline. With small numbers of them cropping up in gardens and smaller orchards across the counties.
Paper size: A5 torn to size
This collage has been painted, drawn and cut out by hand.
1st Class Royal Mail. Your collage will be sent out within 3-7 working days of ordering.
Please note. This collage is very delicate and pasted by hand. If any pieces come loose I am more than happy to resolve this for you!
