Microfleur
I dried some Queen Ann's Lace, sweet woodruff and a fern with my Microfleur. I haven't quite decided how I'm going to use them - on cards or framed art, probably both. I need to work on the timing of drying these things - they burn pretty easily! I microwave them for short bursts of 10-15 seconds - just need to figure out how many bursts get the job done. Daisies - forget about it - burned them every damn time.I attached these Queen Ann's Lace to cards last year but they disintegrated pretty easily. I'm going to try spraying them with a sealer (thanks Von!) and see how that works. If I frame any of them, it will be behind glass, so that might work. Anyway, I'm up to my eyeballs in Queen Ann's lace around the 'hood so there's plenty of experimenting ahead of me.
Happy 16th birthday to my nephew Paul!

I have a triple frame of old flowers that belonged to hub's Aunt Dorothy. No sign of condensation.
... what on earth did we ever do without microwaves? They're almost as handy and versatile as duct-tape, aren't they?
Queen's Ann's lace is so pretty ... I never knew that's what it was called. I wonder how it would hold up on cards if it was covered with a layer of clear cellophane-type stuff, or in a cut-out window in the card, sandwiched between two sheets of the clear stuff. I'm sure you'll have fun experimenting! Can't wait to see what you come up with.
