A ground-breaking book on the art of pressed flowers and leaf works from leading flower artist, Jennie Ashmore. Our love for flowers and leaves has never been more pronounced and in this book, we teach you how to make the most of the rediscovered pressed flower art, from choice of flowers (including roses, oak leaves and seaweed), the various ways of pressing them, designing with pressed flowers and leaves, achieving symmetry, the use of colour, and combining pressed flowers with watercolour and gouache, painted background, and gold and silver paper. The highly experienced author gives a range of insider tips from using the ribs of leaves to create pattern and movement, pressing both sides of a leaf, and capturing the seasons in one piece of work. She also provides templates to help you get started. A plant directory at the back of the book allows you to see what various plants look like when pressed. A stunningly beautiful book that opens up a traditional art to a very contemporary expression for all crafters and nature lovers.

You may have heard of dried flowers, dried herbs, dried seeds, bark, roots, and even potpourri. The only reason why I would want to live in the age of Cleopatra is that the ancient Egyptians knew all about a flower preservation method with which flowers kept their original color, shape, and looks for more than 6 months after they had been cut. Cleopatra’s rooms were full of these flowers. Unfortunately, we have lost this method of preserving flowers, with the burning of the library at Alexandria. However, even up to 1638, Signor Ferrari living in Siena – Italy – described how flowers could be preserved and kept everlasting and alive. Nevertheless, the flowers that we dry today do not have their original color not do they have the rich feel of a thing alive. What we have is something mummified because it has been dried in sand and silica gel. When I was a child, I asked my science teacher to give me a little bit of silica gel because I wanted to preserve all the flowers in our garden in all their colors, and that nice gentleman told me that the colors changed and turn brown, when the water content was removed from that particular plant. I believe that was the first disappointment in my young life, because I wanted all of those colors and their shapes to last forever. But, well, that secret has gone with the ancient Egyptians. Nevertheless, today we are drying flowers, through air drying processes, and this book is going to tell you all about how you can create things of beauty from dried flowers, and anything natural, which you can dry and turn into a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

Table of Contents Introduction Making up Your Mind to Start! Begin Your Collection Pressing Leaves Steps and Tips Techniques for Pressing Flowers Grasses, Mosses, Lichens, and Ferns To Varnish or Not to Varnish – That Is the Question… Lacquer Traditional Gums Beginning Our Projects Floral Wreath Bookmark Cards Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Just imagine that you have a number of dried flowers and leaves, which you wanted to make into a thing of beauty and a joy forever. This, of course, is a challenge for anybody who thinks she or he has a creative instinct and talent. If I was living in the 19th century and had plenty of time on my hands, I would have studied young, under the tutelage of a teacher or a governess or perhaps my mother. But now, living in the 21st century world, tied up to my PC/laptop and my cell phone and my apps, who really has the time, and energy to spend some enjoyable man-hours in making some beautiful creative pictures, out of some dried flowers and leaves? On the other hand, if you are the sort who does not mind going outdoors, ever so often, looking at the beauties of nature from April to October, or later until it becomes the time of Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind, is it surprising that many of the treasures that you have carried home during the autumn or the summer, may be turned into a thing of beauty or a decorative item for posterity, when it is cold outside. In the 18th and 19th century, people loved to make decorations with dried flowers, leaves, and other dried items of nature, and even though it took a little bit of time and energy, the results were well worth it. The pictures that you are going to see in this book are more of instruction so that you can know how to make these decorations on your own. Naturally, I cannot tell you which flowers to use in your designs, because I do not know where you are, and I do not know which flowers you have at hand. At any given time of the year, my gardens are going to be full of nasturtiums, gardenias, Bougainvillea, Larkspur, pansies, delphiniums, sweet peas, pansies, forget-me-nots, baby’s breath, roses, and other flowers, depending upon where I am.
