A flower head from the bouquet got bent in transit, so I'm pressing it.
Waste nothing, it's beautiful. I borrowed the smaller one which was looking thirsty.
And here is the pressing set-up, whatever was to hand at the time. See the paper towel sandwich under the Pressing Tower? I think the full weight of Jerusalem should definitely do it.
And I hugely recommend this artist, who freelances in UK schools working with even very young children, making excellent art from simple materials.
Currently he's into paper plates and cardboard and using every scrap. His website has videos showing exactly how.
You don't actually need children around to do this, but they love it and are a great excuse. Solo adults are making Christmas trees and rocking reindeer from paper plates. Or so I hear.
So try it.
But first,my beloved family of cleaners were here this morning, leaving the house lovely for the holidays.
And a poinsettia for my Christmas decor.
