Pounding then steaming

I started by pounding some flowers and leaves on scarves, but when the results were less than spectacular, I wrapped them up with assorted other flowers on some pieces of branches that had fallen from my tree.


After steaming for an hour or so, this is what I found as I unwrapped them.

If you look closely at the bottom one, you can still see the actual flowers stuck to the fabric.  They took a while to remove.  Next time, I'm using a toothbrush to get them off.


Pressed to set the colors, then washed to rinse off the remaining plant matter (I keep finding little bits of wilted flowers around the house), and pressed again, these are the soft results.
