PRESSED FLOWERS

“Experimenting and creating with pressed flowers is a great way to bring a bit of life and beauty into the dormant fall season.”

I’m a local gardener who is drawn to the simplicity and elegance of the art of pressing flowers. I make various items, from bookmarks and cards to window ornaments, vases and refrigerator magnets and love to share my secrets of pressing flowers.

I’ve been creating note cards from pressed flowers as a hobby for 25 years. I uses color, shape, and texture on fine quality paper, making each hand-made card unique. My home in Sebastopol is my workshop, with the dining room table seldom clear and kitchen cupboards filled with bags and boxes of flowers that she collects from my garden and other local sources.
