Small bookend with memorial flowers.

I'm obsessed with the trinket dish option!!!

Medium Cross

This order was so much fun!!!!
Memorial flowers for a very loved mom, sister, and aunt who left her loved ones too soon. 🥰

Probably one of my favorite crosses that I've made.

03/16/2024

I have been doing a lot of reflecting on how I would like to continue creating keepsakes.
I love working with resin - it truly fills my heart and is my happy place. I've been playing with resin personally since 2016 and have learned so much with this very picky form of art.
After taking nearly three months away from "business-ing" and working on a lot of personal pieces, I've decided to deactivate my website - it simply isn't serving my needs right now and feels like something that I'm supposed to do, not what I want to do.

BUT, I am not going anywhere! In fact, I'm hoping that this decision allows my business to grow.

Deactivating my website allows me to adjust pricing in a way that is not popular right now - down!! I strive to keep my pricing as low as I can so that everyone can have a meaningful keepsake.
Here is my price list effective 3/16/2024. Please email or text me with any order requests. I will then send an invoice for the amount. This will also allow me to work closely with each order to create what you are looking for.

Thank you for continuing to trust me to create your keepsakes!

I have a few different sizes of the cross.
When in doubt, go with the large!
It is a great size for a keepsake to keep for yourself and to gift to loved ones.

👋 hi friends!!!
⌛️it sure has been a while!! Don't worry, I'm still here working on some amazing resin keepsakes.
Truth be told, I needed a social media break.
December burned me out in trying to do all of the things.
I know I was able to help so many people, but it was at the expense of my sanity.
Well, I've decided to take back control.
I've decided I'm OK not growing my business.
😲 say what?!?!?!
Yep - I'm OK not growing.
I'm VERY happy right where I'm at.
I've realized that creating keepsakes at my current pace is perfect. I seem to have a happy spot of 12-15 orders per month and that's where I've decided I'm going to cap my orders.
📆My turnaround time is about 15-20 weeks. Resin is a SLOW process. I will not start pouring resin until the order is paid in full. When I start pouring. The timeline is around 12 weeks. It could be longer.
🩷 Thank you for all of your love and support, and most importantly for allowing me to make your keepsakes. I appreciate each of you more than you will ever know!

6:29 will always hold a special place in the heart of one family.
Inside this memorial keepsake are flowers from the memorial service, a mom's watch that is stopped at 6:29, and her cherished necklace.
Wondering whether to include special items in a keepsake, you should consider if the items will be hidden away in a drawer or if you plan to utilize (wear) them. If they are going to be hidden in a drawer, then preserving them into your keepsake may be the best option to treasure them.

July 30, 2023, an accident occurred that shook so many people to their cores. Greg was taken from his wife, kids, parents, and countless others who love him.
It was a true honor to work with Greg's family to create these keepsakes.
Holidays can be so hard. My heart aches for everyone who is homesick and missing someone they love. Please know that I spend all of my resin time praying over the families who receive my artwork - whether celebrating a marriage or remembering a loved one.
***Any type of identifying numbers have been blurred out of pictures on purpose. There is not gray covering them in the actual keepsakes***

Small crosses are a remarkable gift option for loved ones.
When thinking about the size of the cross that you'd like, be sure to consider the flowers that you would like preserved and plan accordingly.

12/29/2023

Do you have an activity that while you're doing it, you feel closer to God?
For the recipient of this cross, it's when he was outdoors hunting.

The largest keepsake I've ever made using over 4 gallons of resin 😲

In my Grandpa's garden this summer was the largest hydrangea that we have ever seen!! I snagged one, and he helped me put it in silica without knowing what I was up to. The task was given to me to turn the hydrangea into a "ring cone" type of shape.
Here's the finished product - the largest (and heaviest) "ring cone" I've ever made. It took 4.5 months from start to finish to complete this work of art!!

12/26/2023

My Grandpa had a remarkable garden this past summer!!!
When it was at its peak, I stole a basket of flowers and got to work. I made over 30 ornaments for all of my extended family as their Christmas gifts. My Grandparents' kids, grandkids, and great grandkids all loved picking out their keepsake ornament.

12/23/2023

My client had this framed quote and wanted it to have flowers from a memorial service.
I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!!

12/22/2023

Crosses are absolutely a favorite item!!!
I love making them and I love how they turn out. I don't know why I was so hesitant to purchase the cross molds.
I am so glad that you all are loving the crosses too!! 🥰
These 14 crosses will be given to those mourning the loss of a mom and friend.

12/21/2023

I just love how these roses turned out!
It always makes my day when brides love their keepsakes.

12/20/2023

These two 6x6 memorial pieces have the most amazing fall colors!!

12/20/2023

I'm completely in love with this beautiful 10x10 bridal bouquet!!
I love all of the colors and textures that the bride selected.

12/18/2023

I love preserving your wedding bouquet,
But the reason I started FBD is for memorial keepsakes.

This is why I only book 6 weddings a month. I want to make sure I am always available for memorial orders.
And here is a secret - no matter how busy I am, I will ALWAYS make time to create your keepsake.

12/15/2023

Yes. Its true, I'm so obsessed with the hexagon lately!!

But for real- this bridal bouquet is perfect!!!! I am head over heels for the white mixed with color 😍

12/15/2023

Sometimes simple is best!!
This 4x4 memorial piece is getting mailed to its home tomorrow.

12/12/2023

Two 3d medium crosses that are going out this week!

12/11/2023

🤫Shhh, I have a secret for you.
Paper weights are the same as coasters 😉
I call them paper weights because coasters go under an object and are hidden, where as Paper weights belong on top of an object.
But you can use them however you would like!!

12/10/2023

I love this rustic black frame with real and artificial pieces inside it. The flower is super dark purple so doesn't show up the best being photographed 😉

12/10/2023

More crosses will be picked up and mailed out between today and tomorrow. 11 crosses to be exact!
Since my crosses are only around an inch deep, larger flowers aren't always the best for them. But I can completely coat the flowers in resin so they are still rock hard and then they will be 3d.
What do you think about this look?

12/09/2023

These two smaller pieces are hidden gems. The small multi-faceted and dome-prism showcase meaningful flowers from so many different angles.

12/06/2023

I love how this bright 10x10 turned out! The ornaments will be amazing keepsakes for their loved ones too!

12/03/2023

I would love to introduce you to my biggest supporter- Simba.
Simba is 2, we were able to rescue him when he was abandoned at a few weeks old. I bottle fed him and he came into our lives right when God knew we needed someone to love a little more.
Since the day my hobby transitioned into my business, Simba has stood beside me 🥰 he is my quality control when I dry flowers - making sure he collects any stems and hides them around the house for us to find later 😆. He is always around when im pouring resin anxious to see if he can hide a hair in it (no worries, I have covers so he can't when I've turned my back). And he helps inspect boxes and tissue paper when I'm packaging up your finished orders. All boxes are Simba approved 😉.

Remember these beautiful memorial flowers? Here is the memorial piece with pictures of a very loved and missed Grandma. Something i love to do is create your keepsake with a unique view from all 4 sides as well as the top. I love creating a unique piece for every customer - there is no standard designs with me 🥰

Bury flowers in silica with me!

My kiddos are loving creating these videos for me- be prepared for lots of these videos 💜 this video features my amazing 11-year old, Ariya. This is one of our favorite parts of the process - removing the backing after the dome coat is complete. It's so satisfying to peel of the back and see the amazing finished product!!

Today is such an exciting day!!!! You have probably wondered where the name "Floral Butterfly Designs" came from. It came from my 11-year old, Ariya and stemmed from this saying- Butterflies appear when angels are near. One of my dreams came true today - I was able to have custom ornaments made!!!! Starting today, all memorial orders will be gifted one of these ornaments. If you would like one also, I've got them added to my website at a low, introductory price that even include shipping. https://floralbutterflydesign.com/shop/ols/products/fbd-ornament

Burying flowers in silica needs a lot of attention. However the flowers are buried is how they will be preserved - so you want to pour slowly inside each flower as well as around it so that you don't change the shape. An average flower order takes around an hour to place in silica.

After flowers are dropped off, I cut the ends at an angle and let them soak up water. Then I cut them and let them rest for a few weeks in silica. The average memorial order require at least 35 pounds of silica, and the average wedding order requires at least 50 pounds of silica. I've had several orders so large that they require a 54 QT container with over 140 pounds of silica 💪

I'm excited to take you on the journey of preserving these beautiful memorial flowers.

This is one of my favorite parts of creating keepsakes! It's so satisfying to peel off the backs of a piece to see the smooth amazing top and side coats! But - I have never shared this with the internet. Why? The internet is mean and I've been afraid. I bite my nails and I try to hide that. But today I'm feeling brave. So here is a sped up video of uncovering the back side of a piece. Also - you'll notice you can see a pin from the bouquet on the under side - I hide little gems like that in all pieces so you can always uncover new items in your keepsake.

Fun story-- Earlier this summer, I flower-napped flowers from my Grandparents' backyard. This week they were awarded the Flower Power award in their town, so it seemed like the perfect week to give them a surprise! What's even more fun about this moment- I was able to use two new shape options! The first is a trinket jar - this has so many angles that it creates rainbows on the walls around it. Plus the bottom is an inch deep so I can add most flowers to the bottom of the jar! The second is a 6-inch hanging circle! This is the perfect size to not be too heavy so it won't fall off the wall.

My sister was married over Easter weekend 🥰 I am so thankful for the trust she has in me to create a keepsake out of her bouquet. My daughter was the flower girl 🩵 Since she named FBD, I had to include her picture here, too! This finished tray with ring cones - I am obsessed with them! 📸 Story & Rhythm 💐 BlackDog Blooms 🏞 Raleigh, NC #2023wedding #northcarolinabride #raleigh #raleighwedding #northcarolinawedding #southdakotamade #605made #605bride #siouxfallssmallbusiness #siouxempireweddings #siouxempireweddingnetwork #flowerpreservation #resinart #605weddings #sodak #supportsmallbusiness

Looking to give your keepsake an extra touch? I can add fairy lights to any clear-edge piece while hiding the lights so it's a statement piece with the lights on or off.

The more I've begun working with wood, the more I've loved the keepsakes that have been created! What are your thoughts of adding more wood options to my shop?

Night light

I'm working on a super fun new piece 🥀 What are your thoughts, should I offer lights inside pieces?

Lots of this happening lately as I'm unmolding your pieces.

I'm currently working on memorial pieces for young kiddos who recently lost their mom. 🥰 I stage the dried flowers, send a picture to the family friend who ordered them for approval, and now it's time to pour.
