| oh yeah I'd only do it with flowers I had a heap of from my garden, I know in summer we have HEAPS of frangipanis and these lil daisy looking ones, so would be interesting to see how they work! | |

| I tried this today! We had some lil tea tree flowers, so I tried it, and well it didnt really come out so well...    I tried it twice, first one came out better than second. I just took the rest and put them in theback of a thick book, to see if they will flatten and dry  | |

| It's pretty. I think it looks very similar to the effect they show - just a different flower. | |

| I like it Annmaree! good for you on trying the technique.  I wonder if you'd laminate this or put some kind of sealer over it? | |

| thanks for bumping the thread, cos it made me remember I had some of the flowers I had leftover from this project, stored in the back of an old book to try and dry them. Well I just found the book and lookey:  they've dried awesomely! (I would think they would be best preserved by laminating them I think Sonya! Ia ctually I think I might do that with these!) | |
