Pressed flowers

Over the weekend, I went to an art show. One of the featured artists has done some work with dried and pressed flowers. While his style didn’t particularly appeal to me, the medium does. Some quick net exploration reveals that it’s not a particularly difficult medium to get started with– this article describes how to get started with items that almost anyone has available.

I have quite a few wildflowers in my garden. Some of them are truly wild, and some are from a couple of handfuls of wildflower seed mix that I threw out there in late January, when it all was barren and gloomy.

This particular batch has grown up among my raspberry bushes and the field of daisies.
