The art of pressing leaves and flowers is brought exuberantly to life in this glorious guide from leading flower artist Jennie Ashmore.Jennie Ashmore’s simple instructions and stunning artworks (many step-by-step) demonstrate how to collect, place, press, and embellish a variety of natural materials, to create unique works of art with a strong sense of time and place.
Following the success of her previous book, Ashmore continues to push the boundaries of this classic but sometimes overlooked art form, with a contemporary focus on a wider range of plants (often from a specific or local place); designing within different shapes, such as circles; working with seasonal color; and experimental work with rubbings (using pressed material to making rubbings), collage (using paper with leaves as mixed media), collagraphs, and using plant material to make inks.
