Hapa Zome Book Mark for Mom

May 7, 2015 by Barb 17 Comments

The technique of “Hapa Zome” just blew me away when I first discovered it on the Terrain blog.

Oh my gosh! the possibilities!!

Make one for your mom, a friend, yourself … it’s so easy, make one for a stranger!

I didn’t follow the directions exactly, but what I did worked beautifully:

  • Set a flower face down on a piece of watercolour paper.
  • Cover with some parchment paper.
  • Pound with a mallet.
  • Peel away paper.
  • Peel away smashed flower … that’s it.

        I’m not sure Brenda … maybe if you dipped them in some paint?

    How FUN! I always pressed flowers in books as a little girl- and sometimes between 2 pieces of glass to frame (I should try that again!)- but this seems so instant! Definitely should try this! You are so crafty!!!

      I’m so happy you like my newsletter, Donna! Thank you for telling me … I usually have a couple people unsubscribe every time one goes out … I simply say “ouch” out loud and then let it go :)

      Isn’t that Hapa Zome amazing? I just love the results with pansies.

      Thanks so much for stopping by today.
