Dried, pressed, and preserved flowers, petals, leaves and blossoms serve as the “paint” in this Garden Palette. A “waterfall” of blue and purple hydrangea, pansies, and blue rock seed flow over “boulders” made of dried rose petals. A background of “hills” created by a variety of yellow, gold, and brown petals are highlighted by a “sunset” of reds, oranges, yellows and purples from a variety of flowers beneath the edge of the clear blue sky. Crushed egg shells create a sandy beach. This will be placed into a shadow box where a “tree” made from elderberry flowers and a “butterfly” Rose of Sharon create a 3D effect.

Pressed Flowers …again
I have a confession
I have an obsession
With flower impression
–
Or is it a passion
With nature’s fashion
–
Or is it devotion
To the creator’s vast notion
That we should admire his handiwork from flower to ocean
–
The petals, the blossoms
His creations are awesome
–
The land, earth, and sky
Reflections of why
He made so much pleasing to my eye
–
I must press and preserve
In print it will serve
As Refind art
And glorify God with all of my heart

Springboard
Old berry flats
Looking through the slats
Reminder of days gone by
Spring petals peeking through
Pressed and dried and held by glue
A pretty Refind
Spring Petals
Inspired by the translucent petals
How can so much beauty come from such small things?
Revealing the fingerprint of their creator in the fine lines and ever-present patterns
Richness and fragility
Texture and tenderness
Subtle and brilliant hues of intricate beauty
Timeless yet fleeting
Random yet designed with finest detail
Audacity, frenzy, a riot of colors
Spring Petals abound
