Margaret Kennedy Scott & Mary Beazley

The art of pressing flowers finds its best expression in the pressed
flower picture. When the picture is created with skill and an
awareness of design, shape nand colour, the result is a satisfying
and long-lasting item of decoration. Here is advice on all these
aspects, as well as technical and botanical information, hints on
the selection of plants and flowers and methods of pressing them,
constructing picture frames and the use of backing. The book
finishes with a numbernof otherb projects that can be constructed
withpressed flowers, such as greeting cards, bible markers and
botanical pictures.

Illustrated with b&w and colour photographs, and line drawings.
