I guess, today I am the one to tell stories about quitting my job for a hobby.
I always loved flowers and was interested in saving some memory bouquets for a long time. I started by pressing them in books. I practiced a lot keeping flowers in the best condition possible because it’s important to make them look vivid and bright.

This is how pressed lilac looks like
I have learned Tiffany stained glass soldering method to create custom frames for my herbariums
That’s how the finished work looks
Purple flowers that I love to use are cosmos
These flowers were gathered by me in my home town
I often make sets – because flowers look great together
Sometimes I experiment with composition
I love making pretty little things
Once I was lucky to get the real sakura blossom
But I also love common wildflowers

flowers get brown because of moisture. If you dry them weII enough and eep in a dry pace away from direct sun - they keep their colors for years.
