    I was in the hospital recently, and sometimes the kitchen would add a small orchid (without the stem) to embellish the plate. I really wanted to keep those petals, so each time I put the pedals into a napkin, folded it up then used some tape to hold it together. When I got home 3 weeks later, I took all of the napkins out of my purse and unwrapped them. I ended up with perfectly dried orchid leaves that I can't wait to use.
    I remember the bottlecap craze from 10+ years ago. I'd go to a local make-it yourself brewery store and buy 1/2 pound of bottlecaps. Since I could never use that many myself, I shared them with other people. I have some beautiful bottlecap jewelry that I traded for at an art retreat.

    • @NinaRibenaMixedMedia

    These are fabulous ideas, Nina. I am like a child finding an unopened birthday present. I have just found a bunch of dried flowers and leaves from those I pressed having watched the video you made some time ago. I have had such fun pressing more flowers and we are now on the look out for the little containers to display the flowers inside. You are just an inspiration!! Could I pick your creative brain by asking if you have any ideas where to store your dried flowers? I put them between tissue paper inside a book but I'm sure your ideas are better. Thanks for sharing, Nina and sorry to have screwed up the Instagram message! New to it and pretty hopeless so far|! x

    • @NinaRibenaMixedMedia
      @NinaRibenaMixedMedia  2 года назад +1

      Thanks Pam. The containers are called coin capsules and come in different sizes, and the domed cabochons are called adhesive cabochons. I store my flowers in a couple of different ways. I have some of the bulkier ones in an old shortbread biscuit tin, but most are stored in a plastic wallet between sheets of copier paper to keep them flat. Hope that helps 💕 xx

      It's unlikely you could remember every product every video I think I was just catching on and only so I could have missed it or maybe what I was looking for just wasn't in that particular video I don't remember but nonetheless you give us so much information that's amazing I remember trying to find the press board or something that you use something about the stamps and it's twofold and it helps you place the stamp I remember wanting more information on that because I've never seen one before and haven't seen one since but anyway you're just amazing to watch I could listen to you all day!💕

    • @NinaRibenaMixedMedia
      @NinaRibenaMixedMedia  Год назад +1

      Hi Shirley. Most flowers will lose some of their colour as they dry out, but you can brighten then using alcohol markers. I use my finished creations in my journals which are closed most of the time and therefore dark. They retain their colour better this way and are also protected within the journal if I have chosen not to seal the flowers. My favourite projects have been the ones where I have covered the flowers with a layer of napkin as I love the texture this gives especially when I have used burlap as a base. I also love the laminated flowers and the wax seals. I hope this helps, but it really is down to personal preference ❤️

    I was happy to see your excellent results. The fuchsia pressed beautifully. Everything is flat with vibrant color. Did those sponge sheets make a difference? I was wondering if you think the plastic bag improved the results. My geranium (pelargonium) flowers and leaves are still sitting under a pile of books. I’ll have to remember to check them tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration.

    • @NinaRibenaMixedMedia
      @NinaRibenaMixedMedia  2 года назад +1

      Hi Mara, I think the thick padded blotting sheets helped with the drying process and must be very absorbent. I ditched the plastic bag and removed the press from it after a few hours as I just couldn’t get my head around the idea of using it. I was worried the flowers would sweat and go mouldy. Hope this helps 💕

      I’m really not sure Tanya. I put these in the press on Thursday evening when it was 33C. The fushia and Red Hot Poker were very wet and juicy. On Friday the temperature had dropped to max 13C and it was around 18C on Sunday. The temperature slowly rose to 25C on Tuesday when I opened the press. I normally keep my dried flowers on top of my boiler were it is warmest, and still they take at least a couple of weeks.
