Description:

Pounded Flower Art is fun and easy! You can experiment with different fabrics, and various flowers and foliage. For flowers with large centers, you can remove the petals and pound each one separately. You can also make notecards, etc with stock paper. You can use watercolor paper to create your design. Then scan it and use transfers to create clothing, pillows, etc. If you have any questions, just ask! :) Note: This project took about 30 minutes total. Thanks for watching! :) Music is royalty free.

How's the colorfastness without the aid of chemicals?

It will fade over time. The length of time depends on the flower/foliage used, and the type of fabric. To make it last longer, you can heat it up and 'set the stain'; toss it in the dryer on high heat, and that will help it last longer.

The pressed flowers are fun too. Both ways make lovely projects; and nice, affordable decorations or even gifts. Thanks for watching! :)

With "Pounded", I was thinking of stone, clay, chalk & the like, not--never--flowers...lol! This is interesting, the closest we've done in grade school was laying-out flowers & foliage (previously flattened & dried in-between book pages) on thick paper & framing the "assembly"...Ha ha, actually, the imprint the flowers & foliage left on the pages between which they were pressed is the close thing to pounding, not the finished frame...lol.

I first saw it about 10 yrs ago, in Birds n Blooms magazine; and thought it was a neat idea. Thanks for watching! :)
