About artist

 Hello, my name is  Anastasia and I'm a  designer and founder of  Eight Acorns Floral  Preservation Company.

I started creating floral  jewelry to preserve my  constantly growing  collection of botanical  finds.

 

Just like so many  artists and designers  derive their inspiration  from nature, I became  inspired by the beauty of  the plants I was  gathering. I became  interested in learning how to preserve them to enjoy their beauty for years. 

 

Flower preservation by itself is an ancient art that started with occasional insects and plants falling into the natural tree amber and becoming fossilized. Today we're merely continuing this inherited technique, but with more purposeful human touch.

 

 

During cold and dreary East Coast winters, my studio is my dreamy floral escape somewhere beautiful and colorful. In the Spring/Summer, you can usually find me outside gathering new plant collections. In my products I try to bottle up the filing of that long-awaited Spring and beauty of a blooming meadow. I want to recreate a walk in the woods or beach, a trip to the garden or your favorite nature spot. We all know that Mother nature heals and makes everything feel like it’s going to be alright. 

 In 2020 I expanded my line of products and started offering unique wall art created out of home-grown flowers preserved in glass. Gardening offered much needed social distant escape from the pandemic and has provided almost unlimited supplies of plants and flowers to work with. Oh, the possibilities!

I also branched out into custom preservation, after receiving many inquiries from brides on how to preserve their own bouquets. It's an honor to earn the trust of my customers in preserving their cherished memories for life. 

Today Eight Acorns Preservation company is a family business that offers a wide variety of floral products as well as custom preservation as our main focus. We feel very fortunate to be able to share our work with people all around the world!
