At this time of the year, fresh flowers for the house are hard to come by. But all is not lost ...

Here's some of my #PressedFlowers & #PressedFoliage

I store them in old, vintage cigarette cartons & old card boxes; then pack those into old VHS boxset case.

Pressing flowers & foliage has been one of my hobbies since childhood. The ones I'm sharing here, in this thread, today, are only a small part of my big collection.

Crumb shots of my seeded sourdough using a rye starter, 4% scalded home milled Emmer flour, 10% scalded home milled Wakelyn’s Population flour, 6% scalded home milled pulses, 80% very strong white Canadian flour, chopped sage, dried flowers & 60g seeds. This was beautiful and the crusts (as always) were the best bit!
