Thank you for another great video! I have done sunflowers this way too and they molded and didn't look very good. I have tried microwaving and they are coming out much better. I hope you do a video on how these sunnies turn out for you. All your flowers are beautiful!
I can't press them this way either. Even if I change the paper every day it gets moldy. I've found the best method for me is to take the petals off. I put the middle in my microwave press until almost dry. I then put it in the paper press to dry the rest of the way. The petals either go in my paper press or my foam press in the dehydrator. Then I glue it all back together again before framing.

Can you show us a sunflower that is pressed and done?
Would you preserve a sunflower in Silica sand?
I have never tried preserving a sunflower in silica sand. If you try, please let me know how it works.
