pressed flower art
Dried botanical keepsakes
Pressed flower art is the craft of preserving flowers by flattening and drying them, then arranging them into decorative compositions.
Flowers are typically pressed between absorbent paper under weight for several weeks until moisture is removed.
The preserved blooms are arranged on paper, fabric, or other surfaces and sealed under glass or laminate: She framed her pressed flower art from the wedding bouquet.
The technique dates back centuries and ranges from simple botanical displays to elaborate pictorial designs.
