flower pressing
Drying between pages
Flower pressing is the craft of preserving flowers by drying them flat under weight, typically between sheets of absorbent paper inside heavy books or a specialized press.
The flattened specimens retain their color and shape for years, used in botanical collections, scrapbooks, and decorative arts: She learned flower pressing from her grandmother.
