The blog world is a great place to meet new friends. The lovely and talented Lynn in Ontario inspires me. When I saw her altered flower press back in early March, I knew I would be altering mine too at some point. Since flower pressing season is upon us, here is my first altered flower press…
…the before
various papers, images and trim
along with a little rubber stamping
As soon as I locate my stash of pressed flowers (they are layered with wax paper in a candy box somewhere) I would like to add a pressed flower or two to my collage below
when it stops raining, I will be able to begin collecting flowers and leaves for pressing again this year
There is lots to see on Lynn’s Her Creative Spirit blog, she has a very nice altered tin tutorial AND an etsy shoppe that you won’t want to miss either!
Looks really awesome! Thanks for sharing Patty!
Love it! Of to pick flowers…lol..as soon as we get some here. Was 25F this morning and hail yesterday..pff.

Das ist super klasse geworden Patty!

Beautiful Patty, what an inspiration! i hope you have many happy hours pressing your finds!
Wow! I love the transformation! Love the colours and theme of course! Nice job!
hugs

WOW, WOW, Wow, I just LOVE it Patty, you created a wonderful piece of art on your flower press and I like it much more than mine, honestly. I may have to start over again
Only flowers in my garden right now are forget me nots, but it’s a start, and how sweet of you to mention me like that, I am blushing big time now.
Have fun pressing your flowers, hope you find the other ones too
Love , love , love it very much ,!!

Beautiful! Even without added flowers!
this turned out just beautifully! i have a teeny flower press…but i’d be hard “pressed” to find it…ggg
Oh, what a lovely idea! I saw a flower press at the thrift store a couple weeks ago, but passed it up ’cause it’s really so…well, ugly. You did a beautiful job making yours appropriate for the task at hand!
Patty, this is so gorgeous. Not only have I very few flowers (a few azalea blossoms), I didn’t have the rain. I’m hand watering my newly planted plants. I know you collect lavender blossoms. I have never heard of a flower press, but your alteration of yours is beautiful.
