Dried flowers projects are easier in the Spring and Summer

In the Spring and Summer there are abundant flowers in the garden, ripe for testing dessiccation techniques. This year Spring has not yet sprung (we even have snow forecast for Easter), and I am becoming more and more frustrated by the wintry weather! I have to be content with taking photos on the odd occasion the sun comes out.

Recent dried flowers posts

I have been able to write a few posts this month. One is on the subject of dried flowers through the seasons and is a round up of some of my favourite posts from last year.

I tried making a dried lavender heart wreath in two parts: Part 1 – making a heart from salim stems and Part 2 – decorating it with dried lavender flowers.

And once I was thinking about dried lavender, I wrote a summary of the best uses for lavender.

Dried flower petal confetti has other uses

After my mention of weddings in last months Diaries, delphinium petal confetti and dried flower bouquets are flying out from our workshop. But I thought I’d try something different with the dried flower petals.

I had a go at making our daisyshop logo using ivory delphinium petals and green hydrangea petals, but I’m not sure yet how to use the final image! I revisited my delphinium petal Union Jack from last year while I was at it.
