About us

Where it all started

Enchanted Wonders started the way most good hobbies do, by getting slightly out of hand. We are a one person studio in Melbourne. Enchanted Wonders was created by Darshana, who loves her 45 hobbies and was obsessed with learning how to preserve flowers in resin. Social work by day, resin and flowers most evenings and weekends became her routine.

The pieces

From preserving flowers in jewellery, bookmarks and trinket trays, Darshana branched out into exploring and bringing her whimsical side to life. She is a lover of fantasy, witchcraft and all things magic. From bookmarks with customised quotes to witchy, fae and mermaid pieces, she is just getting started.

How long a piece takes

It depends what is in it. A simple bookmark comes together in a few days. Anything with layers, printing, or particularly stubborn flowers takes longer. We would rather it be right than quick.

Where the pieces end up

Not all of them are sold. A few get left in street libraries and on park benches with a small note attached, for whoever finds them (follow us on Instagram to keep up with the Art Treasure Hunts). Others get swapped with makers we like. It keeps the whole thing feeling like it is about making rather than selling. The goal of this business is not to make profits, but to make friends and build a community.
