early holiday presents
today i opened one of my husband’s culinary books, which i had used as a plant press, and look what popped out. an entire jurassic scene, complete with ferns, ancient trees, and what may be pterodactyls or proto-herons rising up from a shallow-water marsh somewhere. i clearly need to press more plants. who knows what may be waiting for me under the christmas tree?
pressed botanicals from southern france
This is most spectacular and makes me smile. I have been doing a similar project for 1 month now and this is the kind of scene I hope to create one day. I also have started pressing the leaves. My images are on my facebook page, Pamela Mendenhall Homan in an album called Fresh Eyes. The album is public. I am so grateful to you for the inspiration.
So lovely … The whole scene and especially the birds (or whatever it may be) rising in the air …
Love this divine assemblage!
