Have dried and pressed flowers and natural materials I grew in my garden for years. Through the years, moved from just pasting them in to a Pressed Flower journal to actually painting with them - some...
Here is a slide show stored in my web albums of the pages I am currently trying to develop. Unfinished work, publicly shown, is normally be a real no no for an artist, but am doing this so to LOOK at them in a different manner and perhaps figure out where they want me to take them.
Had captions on each too but just found one has to save each caption as it is written so lost them all! Hope to add them back in tonight. In general, you can see how they started as just 'records of pressed flowers' and moved through time to start to be 'painting materials" - again a toast to some like Keri Smith who suggest use everything! Flowers as Paintings
This is an excellent way to visit with you, to share in your art, your walks (aka artist dates), and ideas !
