Adeline

Ohhhhh, Adeline.  You sure are pretty.

Most of these flowers were picked by hand from some of my favorite places, and I love that I get to share these places with you.

The back panel of glass was painted a classic avocado green to add some contrast to these vibrant florals. 

I like to do colored back grounds sometimes because it really makes the floral colors POP! 

I distressed the paint a bit so that some light still shines through.  This way we don't loose the dimension that is so captivating when using clear glass backgrounds.

From there I added a bit of gold leaf on the back panel of glass to add a bit of shine through the florals, and to compliment the gorgeous frame.

Hangs by a chain

The back is sealed. 

Every floral piece is:

• Made with flowers that I hand press.  (We're not ordering them from Amazon over here, hahaha!) I source these flowers from a variety of places, process them into the presses, change their papers as needed, and remove them from the press about 4-7 weeks later.  It's SUCH a cool process
• Made with upcycled frames.  I source these frames 1 by 1 from local thrift shops, clean them up/refinish them, and repurpose them for our beautiful pressed flowers.  It can take a fair amount of ingenuity & time to make them work, and it's so worth it to see the transformations.
• Hand Made & One of a Kind:  Nobody in the whole world will have the same piece.  There isn't a commercial process or pattern for mass production.  Each piece is thought out and created individually. 

Things to know about framed floral art: 

Preserved flowers are also known as "Forever Flowers."  They are able to stand the test of time. 

ALSO, it is natural for the florals to alter a bit with time.  Their coloring can shift or some small bits might settle to the bottom of the frame.   

Given that they ARE preserved, they age beautifully.

(Ex. I am currently working on a  commission piece with 100+ yr old pressed flowers, and they are still sooooo pretty.)

To Preserve the Color Longer: 

Avoid direct sunlight. 

Kind of how some plants can't handle direct sunlight... these also do better, long term, in spaces with indirect sunlight or home lighting.  

However, if you LOVE them in the sunlight, you CAN enjoy them there.  The flowers will hold there shape and placement, it's just that the color will likely fade.

These Pieces Are Not Made For: 

Damp environments like bathrooms.  Dried flowers and moisture .... just don't mix.
