Living art
Remember when I tried adding some little hangers for these plants? They kept growing, so I spent a while yesterday adding more hangers and spreading it out more. Living art. 🙂
Every few days, it changes.
This was a custom order for Kavita, who saw a photo of some pansies I posted and asked if I could do book ends with them. I hesitated for a moment, because I usually press pansies flat, and I’ve been using more dimensional flowers for the bookends, since they have a lot of depth. But

Luckily, that didn’t get in the way of them being beautiful
Many of the peony stems were bent by yesterday’s storms, but luckily, that didn’t get in the way of them being beautiful and ready to harvest. I’m trying packing them a little more tightly (mostly because I’m a little short on desiccant, more coming tomorrow); we’ll see if this still works. I may repack when

It’s not exactly like a fresh peony — in the first two photos below, the bottom left flower is fresh, the rest are desiccated. But overall, happy with the results, and feel like it’s something I can work with. I like the air-dried

New experiment — phone case
New experiment — phone case. Pansies! This is for an 11 Pro Max. Right now, I have blank cases for 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 12 Pro Max, 13 Pro Max — I’ll probably make some of each in the next few days, and bring them to Berwyn Sprout for my shift on Sunday.
