Flower press
To maintain the colour of your plant material it has to be dried quickly. The air dry flower press works by evaporation of moisture in the plant material when it is placed in a warm/hot environmnent, with free air flow around.
The plant material is placed between layers of cotton fabric, separated by open mesh foam. The layers are held between grids held together with elastic bands. All parts of the press are re-useable and hand washable.
Large Press (9" x 9" / 23cms x 23cms) holds 3 layers of flowers,
surface area for pressing 243 sq.inches or 1587 sq.cms.
Cost £28 + p&p.
Mini press (6" x 3" / 15cms x 8cms) holds 2 layers of flowers,

Cards & Pictures
The cards & pictures shown on the Gallery pages are examples of those you may order.
Original cards
Original cards, using real pressed flowers or plant material, are about 110x200mm in size. Prices start at £5, depending on the complexity of the design.
All cards are sealed with a film with a UV filter, which protects the plant material used, and come complete with envelopes.
Printed cards
Many of the designs in the Card Gallerys are available as printed cards. Cards come complete with envelopes, price from £1.50.
Pictures
All pictures using pressed plant material are framed to The Pressed Flower Guild standard, which ensures minimal contact with air and therefore minimal discolouration.
As every piece of plant material is unique, your card or picture will not be exactly the same as the one shown.
I like to make my work especially for you, so please contact me with your specific requirements and I will do my best to produce what you would like.
Framed prints are available in various sizes.
Wedding, funeral & special occasion flowers:
Why not have your special memories preserved? A photograph, order of service, invitation or other memorabilia may be included with your flowers. The flowers need to be pressed as soon after the occasion as possible, in order to preserve their colour. Please keep them cool and dry. They should not be sprayed or frozen or kept in the fridge.
Different flowers keep their colour in different ways when pressed and may darken 0r lighten, depending on the flower or plant material.
I can use similar flowers, if yours are not still available.

I do not usually artificially colour my flowers, as I believe that pressed plant material should be allowed to age naturally. The modern methods of pressing which I use allow maximum colour retention.
