This guide teaches you how to diagnose and make informed decisions in your pressing process.
The guide walks you through the exact questions I ask every time a botanical doesn’t press the way I hoped. Why did my flower turn brown, shrivel or mold? You’ll learn how to read your own flowers, your own press and your own check ins, so you stop guessing and start diagnosing. You may use this guide on its own, with the free Pressed Flower Guide, or with your journal.
Inside you’ll find 8 pages of my own learnings:
How a flower press actually works, and why moisture is the thing to watch
A method for telling whether a result came from the flower or from your process
Troubleshooting tables for partial browning, whole flower browning and mold
Techniques for thinning, shaving, ironing and petal by petal reconstruction, with notes on when each one applies
This isn’t a list of rules. It’s a way of looking, so that over time you can diagnose any flower you press.
