A comprehensive guide to the art of pressing leaves and flowers from leading flower artist Jennie Ashmore. With lavish colour photography of both her own inspirational work and the new projects, and clear step-by-step instructions throughout, she shows how to collect, press and embellish a variety of natural materials to create stunning and unique pieces of artwork. The author pushes boundaries, building on and developing traditional techniques, so that original art can emerge, including experimentation with rubbings, hand-made paper, collagraph printing and plant-extracted inks. Would make a fantastic gift for anyone interested in creating art from nature - and a great resource for artists looking to expand their range.
