The art of
pressed Flowers
Let me create a beautiful keepsake of your baby’s hand and footprint, or your furry friend’s paw, by carefully arranging them with pressed flowers and setting them in an elegant glass frame.
The flowers are collected in Nelson, pressed with love and delicately repurposed into a bespoke, one of a kind piece of art that is ever evolving with each petal carefully considered and every frame handmade in Nelson.
Choose from different options to make your frame as unique as your baby. Simply fill out the order form with your preferences, including frame style and labeling colors.
- Frame Colour: Gold, Silver, Black or Rosé Golden
- Design: Baby Hand & Foot or Sibling Feet, Sibling Hands
- Labelling: Text & Colour
You can either take ink prints or use a scanner for a quick, mess-free option. If using a scanner, simply place your baby’s hand and foot directly on the glass and scan. If using ink, an ink pad or non-toxic poster paint works well. Arrange the prints on an A4 sheet, take a clear photo making sure all corners of the paper are visible, and send it to me.
If you choose to do ink prints, simply follow this method:
- Put a piece of paper onto a firm surface
- Open up your Baby’s fingers and tickle the palm of their hand to encourage them to open their fingers
- Quickly paint their hand with baby-safe non-toxic paint
- Place your baby's hand and foot onto the paper
- Wash the baby’s hands and feet thoroughly
I craft your frame in detailed handwork using colourful Nelson blooms and petals. Every frame is unique, and the prints are life-size. I’ll keep in touch with you throughout the creation process, and you’ll often get to see your frame in progress on Instagram.
Please allow 2 weeks for your artwork to be finished. I will courier the finished artwork at additional cost. If you are Nelson based you are welcome to pick up your artwork.
Please take care of it:
- Choose a location where its not in direct sunlight, as the petals will fade
- Keep it away from humidity
- Keep the glass clean and free of fingerprints
FAQ
All your questions answered here. And if you still have questions, send me a note!
How do you get the right size for the baby prints?
To ensure the prints are life-size, I work from a clear photo or scan of your baby’s hand and footprints placed on an A4 sheet of paper. As long as all four corners of the page are visible, I can accurately recreate them at their true size—preserving every tiny detail in your floral keepsake.
How long will it take?
Please allow 2 weeks for your artwork to be finished.
Do you offer shipping?
Do the flowers keep their colour?
The color of the flowers will naturally evolve over time, with some changing more than others, adding to the poetic charm of the piece. To ensure the best preservation, keep it out of direct sunlight and away from humidity. For even greater protection, I offer a UV glass option for the larger wooden frames.
