From Australia, Petal Blossom is a true fairy of Wonderland, always accompanied by her cats Madame Ziva and Mrs Chunky, another fairies with elegance and mystery. Together they weave a life of books, fabrics, and dreams. Once a Para-Legal, Petal dedicates herself to rare and limited editions of Alice, as well as to the art of quilting, creating an enchanted universe around her collection.
On Instagram, she gathers more than two thousand followers with posts that feel like visual rituals. Each book is staged with fresh flowers, small sculptures, and imaginative settings, photographed in luminous compositions and angles that reveal the hidden beauty of covers, pages, and illustrations. Her collection grows with colorful, numbered, and signed editions, always chosen with a sensitive eye and the wisdom of a true collector. Among her treasures is the number 8 copy of a limited signed edition by Irene Bogo, a birthday gift from @semperluxus and Juan Carlos Solis of @Summaeditorial. The number 8 has become her talisman, guiding her search for new books marked with this magical number.
Beyond collecting books, Petal creates quilts, bags, cushions, and wall hangings she calls Diversional Therapy. Each piece is one of a kind, born from her exclusive patterns and crafted with Alice fabrics she has collected for years, many now rare and out of print. Hand embroidery, buttons, lace, ribbons, and tassels transform each piece into a poetic fabric artwork. They arrive with notes and little gifts, always connected to the story of the person who receives them. Mine, for instance, carries details from the Alice collages I created in my books, becoming a dialogue between our creations.
Even after facing serious health challenges, Petal continues to sew dreams and nurture her collection. With more than fifty Alice-inspired fabric artworks alongside her growing library, she spreads beauty and hope, showing that collecting is also about inventing worlds, creating bonds, and sharing joy.
