There are variables to how long they last. They can last decades but colors fade on flowers but the flowers are there with faded colors

We do glue all the flowers to the paper. You can use any substrate but we use paper. You could use whatever you’d like I suppose

@flowerpressstudio what's your opinion on pressing in the mixtures

I would adhere the piece to mat board. Then I would frame it.

This press would last her a lifetime. It’s a perfect way to not throw out flowers

Thank you. It’s a good thing but also a curse sometimes. We don’t color correct. Never have and don’t see us ever will. It’ll never be the same color of the flower so we let things stay natural and fade as time goes on

Also, whats your opinion on using glass vs acrylic ?

Hahahaha. Yup I’m always dropping something

Thank you

It’s a silicone glue tray. You can find them anywhere. Easy peezy

Rives or arches

Are you going to give it a go?

Good question. It’s personal choice. But I have cut stems as you said and then laid flowers right at the edge of the flower to mimic a fluid transition. That’s usually what I do. But I like to place the flower strategically into the stem sometimes. It’s sort of a puzzle to get everything looking how you want and then glue it down.

But you are correct. You can sometimes notice the stems if not cut through the flower but that’s also not a bad thing. It could actually be a very cool effect and I can envision doing that. It all depends on how thick the stems are, what flowers you are placing on top, and what look you are going for. Each look works.

Thank you for replying. Now I feel more confident knowing that either way works.

Whites are beautiful but you will have a learning curve as white flowers are some of the tougher ones to press as the pigment tends to want to change quickly from its original white but it can be done. Love to see what you create when you start 🙂🙂🙂

You my friend are nice to say that. Hahah. They came out but I think next year I’ll spend a lot more time with it and make a really fancy one 🙂🙂

Hahhaha I’d like to give this a go again for a round 2. It was an experiment to see how it all went.

Thank you for saying. Appreciate that

🙂🙂🥰🥰

Omg it was seriously one of my favorite series. I was so sad when it ended. I joust wanted more. Hahaha.

Much much appreciated.

It’s a really nostalgic art form. So many past times with moms or grandmas. Pretty great stuff. Appreciate you watching and glad it gave a good feel for you. 🙂 I think pressing flowers can really help get into a creative and quiet state.

Thank you again 🙂

Thank you!! 😊

Thank you so much for saying so

You may have commented the most of everyone. Appreciate you watching

And again. Thank you. I have a few more to post on here and this year am going to start working on some new works from things we collected that past months

🙂🙂🥹🥹 thank you

Thank you. Looking forward to working on some new pieces with foliage this winter

Yeahhhh it took like 9 months. But we hope to make some more edicational videos on pressing and design stuff and a bunch of ideas 🥰

You can email them to info@flowerpressstudio.com but I can’t guarantee I’ll be of much help. I’ll try though. 🙂

🙂 we are hoping to make some more educational content soon too. And more videos like this. 🙂🙂 thank you so much

So cute! I admire your art and your patience! ❤

You should definitely wash the brushes. I just let it soak over night in water and then give it a rinse, let it dry and reuse. Everything we do in our business, we reuse constantly. All paper is reused too

We have out the PPA glue on some centers (like mums) so they do not fall apart but we have never put glue over an entire flower. You can try though and see how it goes. I use lineco glue for most sticking.

@@flowerpressstudio thank you very much

we have not used resin as we do not know how to use resin and thats a process that would take time and space and we do not have either right now. but at some point we will try. we dont paint the background. It is watercolor paper. we glue all flowers. we have a glue video if you want to check that out

i have used lineco and PPA glue for that. :) it helps and does not do anything to the centers

@@flowerpressstudio thanks, I will try it on rose centers to see if it helps keep it from shedding

fading will happen over time. and all flowers react differently and age differently. we let flowers be flowers. :) but when we press the flowers and maintain color it is because of our pressing technique and we made a comprehensive course all about that. there are processes for all flowers.

@@flowerpressstudio I did pressed flowers on a wooden picture frame. Unfortunately all the flowers are now beige brown 🙃

Not sure. We press all these ourselves so I would suggest to press them yourself

We do everything. I’m not sure I understand your question though

Frame shops would understand, but maybe not framing supply shops. Usually spacers are plastic and come in white, clear, and black. That though doesn’t really work if you have wood frames. I started off by making my own and it was tedious and since all my equipment was old and not square, I went out to find a company that made frames and spacers to match. The two companies I know that so that are picture woods in Boulder Colorado (I was lucky as I’m in CO) and Vermont hardwoods in Vermont. Their frames are better than all. Handmade, Sustainable hardwoods. You can buy wood and make it yourself, buy it framed and stain yourself or have them do it all. They are more expensive but I positioned my product to be more expensive and used the best quality I could find. It’s good to understand framing, profiles, weight loads, etc. Glass is heavy so the frames were made with dovetails which is better than v-nails. Anything larger than a 18x24 glass on glass frame, I would increase the profile a step up and would also add flat corner brackets on the back to make it stronger and more safe for the customer. It’s all decision based if you are a business or just hobby based or how you want to be. I just wanted peace of mind always and went a bit further than most framing these up. But yeah spacers were tricky. Many people make them out of popular and paint them or stain them to get it close to the stain color of the frame. But I like the exact and cohesiveness the companies have. Hope that helps

They take 1-4 weeks to do. I lay out flowers and then take 99% away just to glue down 1 flower

@@flowerpressstudio I am very similar to what you do. I’ll arrange them all, take a picture and then rearrange and tweak it as I go from the pictures I have taken.

You should totally

I’m not sure. Make sure your flowers are dry.

You are so welcome

Not sure. We don’t do any custom pieces for the public right now and it would depend on a few variables to come up with the price.

Just regular copy paper

Not sure. Probably. We use thicker paper though that is anywhere from 250-300 gsm

We haven’t but have heard people doing this. I think it depends on the environment you are in. Also if pressed probably, it should be ok but I guess insects can always find their way in somehow.

We don’t frame anymore either as to ship the pieces we make, they need to be shipped unframed.

Lineco

Thank you 🙂

I think the video shows a completed press. I suppose, what do you mean by a complete press? There were two ways to make a press in the video using two different bolt techniques.

Thank you

I’d probably use lineco but you could check out our gluing UA-cam video. That make help you
