What I love most about this art is the detail I get to put into every single bloom I press. That's also why it can be so difficult and time consuming. The process of taking a live flower (a 3D object) and then flattening it, preserving it using various methods, and often disassembling it, takes time and expertise. But the true art is figuring out how to piece each flower back together in a way that showcases it's uniqueness as the specific type of flower it is AND highlights it's beauty as close as possible to when it was alive. PHEW ..I try my best and sometimes it doesn't come across the way I'm hoping, but sometimes it DOES! 😍😍😍
