I can’t find a way to say it that doesn’t sound completely cheesy, but I LOVE what I do. And I fully believe that you can tell when something was made love. So here I am, painstakingly placing almond blossom petals one-by-one into books to be pressed. Because I love them. And my work reflects that.

I love doing pet portraits 💜

Another wedding keepsake complete

Not fragile like a flower, fragile like a bomb.

I saw this headline and thought “yeah, I get where she’s coming from.”

I’m telling y’all, stained glass and pressed flowers are a match made in heaven.

The oh-so satisfying sound of breaking a straight score

Cutting with my Cutter’s Mate StripPro. Enjoy the scratching sound of the score (over the sound of a podcast and my dryer 😆).

This cutting tool is a HUGE help when creating large rectangular pressed flower keepsakes.

Over a half a pound of solder in this piece

Extra strips of copper tape at the deep curves serve two purposes: to patch any splits, and to be an extra barrier against any liquid getting in between the two layers of glass.

My hand after working with the grinder for a bit. Very ladylike 😆

Foiling, foiling, foiling

Finished cutting by hand. I’ll use my ring saw on these angles.

This project is very different than my past work and I’m loving every second of working on it.

Back at it.

This pretty little candle lamp was a commission, but I love it so much I’m thinking I’ll make more like it 🌸🕯️
