Dry Flower Art

As the saying goes "Necessity is the mother of all inventions", this creation of mine is a result of the dire need to cover up the cubicle walls in my new work location. I initially planned to just cover it up with some white sheets of paper. But I didn't like the idea of it looking so bland. I temporarily put it on hold for some time to think over what I should do about it.

Occasionally I go to office on weekends to have some peaceful 'me' time. During one such weekend, my eyes caught the lovely colorful flowers in the office campus when I was on my post lunch stroll and it struck me that I could make some dry flower art as I used to do during my school days. I collected a few flowers, leaves and twigs and dried them by compressing using a heavy hardbound book. I let them dry only for a couple of days as I wasn't patient enough. Here are my creations in the order they appear on my cubicle walls.













Actually, I am the gatekeeper to my floor sitting just next to the entrance.

  1. What a wonderful way to give yourself a bit more privacy, and offer something pretty to look at when people enter the area! I can see you changing these panels for the seasons, too! Thanks so much for sharing your idea with us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!
