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.

Think this would work with feathers?

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.
