Individually handmade in Margaret River Western Australia.
Kangaroos
Kangaroos are large marsupials that are found only in Australia. They are identified by their muscular tails, strong back legs, large feet, short fur and long, pointed ears. Like all marsupials, a sub-type of mammal, females have pouches that contain mammary glands, where their young live until they are old enough to emerge.
Kangaroos are in the Macropodidae family, which also includes tree-kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, quokkas and pademelons. When people think of kangaroos, the four species that typically come to mind are the antilopine kangaroo, the red kangaroo, the western gray kangaroo and the eastern gray kangaroo. They are sometimes referred to as the “great kangaroos” because these species are much larger than other kangaroos.
Serene Forest stickers are made using the highest quality materials from North America. The sticker material is made by the Gallery Glass window paint range and is non-toxic water-based paints. The header card packaging is printed locally at Margaret River Print, located in Margaret River Western Australia.
Firstly choose a clean and dry non-porous surface to display your leadlight sticker. Carefully remove the sticker from the packaging, then place the smooth side of the sticker on your chosen surface. Providing you remove stickers with care, they can be repositioned numerous times. When removing stickers to reposition, ensure not to overstretch in the process.
Serene Forest Stickers will cling to most surfaces that are smooth and non-porous. Ideal surfaces are windows and sliding doors, tiles, and mirrors. Sticker placement is not recommended on painted surfaces, plastic, brick or course textured areas. Car windows are not recommended, as extreme heat inside a car may cause sticker to melt. Likewise, If stickers are put on the outside of a car, they can be affected by the weather. (Excess sun, rain, and debris)
The ideal position for a leadlight sticker would be where it receives light, but not direct sunlight. Certain colours may also fade when affected by direct sunlight for long periods (red being the main colour)
If the sticker is attached to a glass water bottle or another mobile object, a mild detergent mix or plain water can also be used providing you also wipe dry afterwards. If you are concerned about this cleaning method, you can always remove sticker before cleaning and then reapply afterward. I recommend removing the sticker and reapplying about once a year, as plastic may harden and mould to glass over time and become difficult to remove after several years. Reapplying will help avoid this happening.
