About SayingItWithFlowers

Sales 4,439
On Etsy since 2017
  • Each design is constructed by hand interweaving the fragile pressed flowers into place with a little egg white adhesive.
  • When I've finished creating the original design it is carefully scanned & the image printed onto my products.
  • I press the flowers in large wooden presses between layers of recycled newspaper like these Springtime forget-me-nots.
  • Welcome to my small cottage garden..a chaotic profusion of flowers, herbs, vegetables, grandchildren and the dog!
  • The rainbow of colours I grow to use in my designs and a symbol of hope in these difficult times....Say safe

Welcome to my English Garden.

Hello! You've probably guessed, my SayingItWithFlowers Shop looks very much like my own real garden and a welcome haven in such difficult times.

As a keen gardener with a passion for flowers, I'd pressed a few flowers picked from the garden to make little 'Thank You Cards' for family and friends for my children's birthday presents when they were young. They all loved them so much the seeds of my 'flora graphic' designs were sown!

Over the years I've taught myself how to create lots of intricate designs, experimenting with shapes and colours that work well together, knowing exactly which flowers will keep their colours perfectly when pressed, the seasons to grow them and, English weather permitting, when to pick them at their very best throughout the year.

Many of my designs are now reproduced in print form due to the time involved in growing, pressing and creating each unique design, making them affordable to all who share my passion.

With the knowledge I've gained over the years I now also supply packs of my seasonal pressed flowers to other creatives for their own special projects from card, jewellery and candle making to photo shoots.

As my 'flora graphic flowers' continue to blossom please do feel welcome to pick a bunch, in the meantime 'Happy Gardening'... it's good for the soul.

    My work is a mix of the old traditional Victorian craft of flower pressing combined with modern printing technology ... sprinkled with some good old fashioned organic gardening, a keen eye, steady hand, lots of patience and a BIG passion for flowers!

    Assistant

    My daughter Lauren often helped me pick buttercups along our stretch of the River Severn for pressing when she was little. Now herself a working Mum with young children, she still makes time to help me as SayingItWithFlowers continues to blossoms.
