Hand-Embossed Elephant on Handmade Little Bluestem Paper
Grown, gathered, and crafted in the Cottage at Marehaven studio.
A Gift for All Seasons & All Reasons
This paper began as a small clump of Little Bluestem — gifted to me by the NC Cooperative Extension. I planted it, tended it, and harvested it by hand, then cooked and macerated the fibers in my Little Critter. Each sheet became the foundation for this elephant design. From soil to finished keepsake, I shaped every step with intention and gratitude.
Overview
A handcrafted symbol of wisdom, loyalty, and gentle strength. Inspired by the matriarchal nature of female elephants, this keepsake includes a beautifully printed symbolism card describing their story and meaning.
What’s available:
1 Female Elephant + Story Card = $30.00
1 Female Elephant + 1 baby + Story Card = $35.00
Additional babies = $6.00
Shipping included

A Note About Variations
Photos show sample elephants. Each elephant is handmade from my garden-grown Little Bluestem pulp, so natural variations in texture, color, and character will occur. Your piece will be beautifully unique.
Limited Edition - contact me at maryhahnward@gmail.com to join the mailing list when I make a new batch. Put “Female Elephants” in the subject line.
This keepsake is made from a single harvest of Little Bluestem from my garden. The first offering includes eight adult elephants and eight babies. Only 3–4 more small batches can be created before this year’s pulp is gone. A new harvest next fall will begin a second generation — each year’s batch a family of its own.
