Butterflies of Far North QLD – White Linen Tea Towel – Native Insects with Red Love Hearts

Butterflies of Far North QLD – White Linen Tea Towel with Red Love Hearts

Celebrate the vibrant life of the tropics with this crisp white linen tea towel, hand screen printed with our original illustration: “Butterflies of Far North QLD.” Featuring beloved native species, host plants, handwritten notes, and sweet red love hearts, this towel is a heartfelt tribute to nature and transformation.

Australia is home to over 400 butterfly species, and around 60% are found in Far North Queensland. This design showcases local icons like the luminous Ulysses and the bold Cairns Birdwing—Australia’s largest butterfly—alongside native vines like Aristolochia tagala, which support their life cycles.

Inspired by watching metamorphosis unfold in our backyard, this piece captures the beauty and wonder of local wildlife. The playful red love hearts bring a warm pop of colour, making this not just a tea towel, but a joyful piece of art.

Hand printed in our Cairns studio with eco-friendly inks, it's a meaningful gift or a lovely addition to your kitchen or wall.
