Thanks to the revolutionary techniques and the step-by-step instructions in this unique manual, the art of flower pressing is easier, quicker, and promises more beautiful results than ever before--using an ordinary microwave!

Now, using a microwave oven, you can produce pressed flowers of a far higher quality than those preserved by traditional methods, and you can do so in much less time. In fact, you can use the flowers almost instantly.

The microwave method also makes it possible to press many types of flowers -- such as orchids -- that have never been successfully pressed before. As a result, you can preserve such meaningful keepsakes as corsages, wedding bouquets, and even bridal headdresses, which previously would have been impossible to press.

In addition, microwave pressing results in better flower color maintenance.

Along with microwave techniques, traditional flower pressing methods are also discussed and explained.

Then, after providing clear instructions on both these techniques, author Joanna Sheen provides clear, illustrated step-by-step directions for making 30 beautiful floral projects, such as greeting cards, scented drawer liners, lampshades, and many other items.

Also included is a listing of the types of flowers that can be preserved, with notes on which varieties achieve the best pressing results.

Lavishly illustrated throughout with rich, full-color images of the author's own work, Microwaved Pressed Flowers provides complete instruction and endless inspiration for the pressed-flower crafter.
