Artists are blending pressed flower art with resin casting to create dimensional masterpieces. Begin by pressing thin petals like pansies and cosmos on absorbent paper for ten days. Next, arrange pressed layers on a wooden panel, sealing them with archival glue. Pour a thin resin layer to embed the flat composition. After partial curing, place three-dimensional dried blooms—roses or dahlias—into deeper resin. The result is a bouquet preservation piece that merges the elegance of pressed silhouettes with the realism of preserved flowers. Transparent gradients can mimic floating petals. LED backlighting behind translucent panels adds dramatic effect. Mixed-media methods also reduce resin volume, lowering weight and cost. Incorporate metallic leaf or calligraphy between layers for personalized flair. When preserving funeral flowers, a lock of ribbon or a handwritten note can sit between pressed and resin stages. This hybrid approach pushes flower preservation beyond conventional frames, turning memories into gallery-worthy art.
