Discover how to combine leaves and flowers to create stunning collaged artworks. Leading flower artist Jennie Ashmore brings the art of pressing leaves and flowers to life in this glorious guide and showcase of her work. Through simple instructions, step-by-step demonstrations and beautiful illustrations, she shows how to collect, place, press and embellish a variety of natural materials to create unique works of art that convey a strong sense of time and place. Following the success of her previous book, The Art of Pressed Flowers and Leaves, Jennie continues to push the boundaries of this classic and newly revitalized craft. She provides a focus on a wider range of plants, often locally sourced. Other groundbreaking techniques include how to design with different shapes like squares, circles and diamonds, capturing seasonal colour, painting interesting backgrounds and experimenting with rubbings, hand-made paper, collagraph printing and plant-extracted inks. Featuring stunning images from the author throughout, this gorgeous book is a creative and practical introduction to making art with natural materials.
