The technique works by creating imprints of flowers, petals, leaves, herbs and vegetables onto a sample of natural fabric. We used flowers and leaves as the main feature of our designs. They were placed between two layers of cotton lawn and hit and rolled with a rolling pin. They were left wrapped overnight and then released and heat set the next day. We were excited with the results.
