Project Overview & Aesthetic Design
A contemporary art piece featuring pressed petals arranged in a seamless color spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) flowing horizontally or vertically across a wide panoramic floating frame.
Step-by-Step Execution Guide
-
Harvest and press petals across the entire color spectrum (red roses, marigolds, yellow daisies, green leaves, blue delphiniums, and purple verbena).
-
Clean a wide panoramic floating glass frame ($6times14$ inches).
-
Begin laying petals on the glass in dense vertical color bands, feathering the edges where adjacent colors meet to create a smooth gradient.
-
Secure petals with minute dots of clear glue applied to the petal centers.
-
Close and seal the top glass pane, locking the colorful botanical rainbow in place.

Pro Crafter Tip
Use pressed petals of similar thickness throughout the frame so the two glass panes press down evenly across the entire gradient.
