Knockout Rose

PRINTS ONLY
Knockout roses are single petal rose. They are disease resistant. I used my microwave press to dry the roses. I found that with my microwave I had to dry in 30 second increments. Always remember to put a cup of water on top of the microwave press so that your botanicals won't burn.You must check the drying process every 30 sec. Working with roses is difficult. The petals can come apart and break easily for that reason this piece took longer than normal.

zen cards

Pink Catahoula is so awesome. Roberta is doing a great job of making prints of my origional work.
My Zen cards are based on Ikebana which in Japanese means giving life to flowers...arranging flowers. They are difficult to make as the flowers and fern stems are fragile and the simple design turned out not to be so simple. I started drying the Stock (the pink flower) in a wood press for a week then finished drying them in my microwave press.
Roberta will be making prints of these cards and they will be matted in white.

Print only.
