Wooden embroidery hoop with cotton fabric, inlaid with original flowers (Hardenbergia violacea).

Collected: 02/2025

Size: 14 cm diameter.

Color Accuracy: On-screen colors may vary slightly from the natural colors of the flowers on the fabric.

Care Instructions: Avoid direct sunlight to prevent accelerated color fading.

Natural Evolution: Press-dried flowers retain their shape but may undergo a slow, natural color shift unique to their pigments.

Heritage: I recommend exploring my blog to see 19th-century botanical souvenir books—flowers dried with this same technique that remain beautiful after 150 years.

Sourcing: Some pieces include protected wildflowers grown in my private wild garden; others are cultivated flowers that were purchased and dried.
