Inkling: pressed flowers and plant updates

I posted about pressed leaves last week and wanted to share with you the second batch of pressed flowers that I made.


Patience paid off and these little flowers pressed really nicely.


I glued them onto these little hang tags and will use them as gift tags.

Since we’re on the subject of plants, I felt now would be a good time to update you on my previous plant posts. The little propagation experiment didn't work. None of the cuttings sprouted any roots. Maybe next time, I'll stick to an avocado pit or a potato. Those always seem to grow roots.


Also - and this one is hard to admit but my little zen garden terrarium is far from zen. The little elfin thyme plant shriveled up and died. I’m not sure if I over watered it or mortally injured it in during the transplanting. I plan to make a new one soon.


Happily, my succulents are still thriving.

Thankfully, it’s hard to kill a succulent plant.

  4. You've inspired me. I was planning on doing something with pressed flowers and I came across your beautiful gift tags. I now want to make bookmarks that way! Also, I love the zen garden terrarium. :)
