this beautiful mirrored design.
I'm a little bit old-fashioned, a little bit hippie, a little bit Martha Stewart. Put all these characteristics together and you have an artist who has found her medium by using pressed flowers, leaves and herbs to make art. I start in the winter by selecting the plants I will grow in my garden based on shapes, colors and textures. In the spring, I plant and dig and water and weed. Then I wait. When flowers start to bloom, I pounce onto my garden and pick and press like crazy from summer through fall. My materials have to last me through the long winter when there is nothing to press! These free form bohemian designs are something new for me. My primary designs are of whimsical people. Check them out, printed onto notecards, at petalpeoplepress.com.
