by accident. I got laid off from a job and needed something to do
and I’ve been spending large sums of money and lots of time on a
summer and winter garden ever since. I love to be in the sun and
work in my garden.
Another accident involved pressing flowers. I had thought it was
sort of mean to my plants to pick their flowers, but wanted to show
a black pansy to someone at work. So I picked one and explained
how sad I was that it was going to die – then someone suggested
that I press it so it would not have died in vain. It pressed in books
well so I bought a small good press. This produced some really
neat flowers and I felt like the plants liked to have their flowers
preserved and pressed since they were annuals and die at the end
of the season. I bought a great big flower press and now ‘run’ the
press every two weeks – meaning I put fresh flowers in it and they
are ready to go and be put into projects at the end of two weeks.
With the rising cost of water and everything else, I decided it was
time for my little plants to start paying a little bit of their own way,
so here are some of my creations.
Like everything else on my web site – if you like something but
think ‘Oh – I would like that even more IF . . .’ just email me and I
can probably produce something exactly like what you want. Just
remember that flowers are seasonal.
