Pressed Flowers …

Cuz, you know – I had to look into it.  Pretty cool!  Quick, easy and should look great in my papers …

I walked around the yard, collecting bits of Spring flowers and interesting leaves:

Then popped my samples into this ‘lil thing (Microfleur press), nuked them for less than a minute … and Voila!  Magic and beauty all in one! (Only burnt one … my lone Clematis.  Burning them does NOT smell good – fair warning!)

  1. Interesting little gadget you have there. I bet it would make dusting the plants with fine powder frit so much easier. Enjoy looking at your work.

  2. I press many flowers in the microwave, but I use old books. Yes…the smell can be ghastly, but the rewards are well worth it. I enjoyed your post.
