After many years of doing calligraphy accented with pressed flowers, the World Wide Pressed Flower Guild was formed, opening so many new ways to work with plant materials! Classes and sharing by other members has helped Pat and other members to expand in this art form beyond their imaginations!
 

Who would have thought one could "paint" with flowers and leaves and do so many new things, learn so many new techniques? It has been a wonderful adventure!

If you look closely at each picture, you will see the different plants used. Pat has won awards for some of these pieces.


These are all one of a kind, but something similar can be ordered. Prints are also available.
