Suncatcher 2

Suncatcher 1

Sun catcher 3

I had the nicest time one afternoon this week just sitting at the kitchen table, making these pressed-flower sun catchers.

The project idea came from the most recent issue of Extra Curricular magazine (#18) and a piece written by Isabella Pachter, with photos by my pal Sonya

I made three sun-catchers, and used up all the pressed flowers I had been saving in a heavy book, including buttercups, clover, pansies and ferns. 

And of course now I've had to press another big batch of flowers so I can make one for all my friends: this time, nasturtium blooms and leaves, hydrangea petals and daisies from the lawn.

    I dried flowers for this project last August, and I’m happy to say that I’ve finally now (in my winter) gotten around to making these! They are so pretty and lots of fun! Thanks for the idea. I will definitely be looking out for different flowers this summer for the next batch. 🙂
