A recent topic of discussion in the Blissfully Art Journaling group was flower pounding. So today, I pounded lilies and delphiniums. The lilies were too fresh and made a watery mess. I like the result created by the older, dryer delphinium blossoms.
Wow -- these turned out looking really neat! When I was in Costa Rica I smushed a beautiful red flower and it made a purple stain. (I don't know if smushing and pounding are interchangeable, but it was fun to see the results.)
ooo.... that's gorgeous! I'd not heard of this technique before ~ will have to try it :)
