February 9, 2011 0

This week’s Earth Friendly Etsy giveaway from Peris and Corr couldn’t be more timely. One lovely reader will win a beautiful recycled love poster just in time for Valentine’s Day!

Peris and Corr is a textile and screen printing company run by Dyfrig Peris and Jennie Corr who both have backgrounds in Fine Art. Peris and Corr have an unconditional love for great design, screen-printing and the environment.

All of Peris and Corr’s products are designed and hand printed in their studio located in the Snowdonia National Park in North Wales. You will find a large collection of hand-made organic textile products and screen-printed greeting cards. My favorites are the posters, purses and cushions.

The love poster is hand screen-printed using Permaset Inks that are solvent free water-based inks. Yay! And all of the textiles are made using organic cotton or hemp and their cards and posters are printed on 100% post-consumer recycled papers. Fantastic.

Jump over to Peris and Corr and pick up something for someone you love, then leave a comment below!

**Giveaway will end on February 23rd.
