FIRST YOU PUT ONE SHEET OF SPACER BOARD ON THE PRESS.
ADD ONE SHEET OF BOTANICAL PAPER.
I WAS GOING TO LAY THE FLOWER RIGHT SIDE UP BUT IT WAS VERY BULKY.
SO I PUT FACE DOWN.
PUT ANOTHER PIECE OF BOTANICAL PAPER ON TOP.
ADDED ANOTHER PIECE OF SPACER BOARD ON TOP OF THE PAPER.
I ADDED A SECOND LAYER, EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRST LAYER.
I PUT THE TOP OF THE PRESS ON AND PUT THE STRAPPING ON AND TIGHTEN. AFTER A FEW DAYS I WILL CHECK THE FLOWERS AND TIGHTEN THE STRAPPING. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED. RIZZI
Good luck! I love Queen Anne's lace and it will look so pretty pressed!

That is one cool looking flower press. My grandma use to have us pull over and she would pull a few Qeen Anne's Lace. We would bring it home and put it in some water with food coloring and it would turn such a pretty pastel color. I still remember that to this day. Thanks for bringing back that memory. :)
ReplyDeleteHAPPY SATURDAY RIZZI,
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS MY FIRST TIME TO YOUR AWESOME BLOG. JUST THIS YEAR I GOT INTO FLOWER PRESSING. I HAVE JUST DONE ROSE PETALS BUT THEY TURNED OUT SO VERY PRETTY.
I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT PRESSING QUEEN ANNE'S LACE. I THINK IT IS A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER BUT EVERYONE HAS ALWAYS SAID IT WAS A WEED.
HUGS
SIMPLY DEBBIE
I LOVE THE TITLE OF YOUR BLOG
i love queen ann's lace. what will you do with it? have a good Sunday
ReplyDeleteGood morning, what a perfect flower to begin your flower pressing with. I can't wait to see what it looks like when the process is completed - probably very lacy just like when it's picked. Ciao, bella!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Rizzi!
