A Pressed Flower Ring...

Ring... what's the meaning of a ring? A ring can be a promise, or....well, what else some more?? A ring not to only symbolize the promise, commitment in a relationship; it also something we willing to give while accept to carry the promise and commitment between two people for the rest of their life.

Either it could be last forever or a short life, it really depends on how we both carry with each other along the year. Nothing is impossible, I always believe. It can be done whenever you willing to do. 

Nevertheless, by giving and accepting a ring in different occasion always signify different meaning as well. That's we must make it clear and should be well understood by both parties. 

A promise does not have to be made of diamond or gold. Other gems such as sapphire, emerald or a real pressed flower can serve for your loved one too.

End of the writing, am thinking of a song............

很幸福的一首歌。。。。

小玩意 |彭羚

今天共处你将光阴停住 还学陈旧文艺戏口吻
细声说做我内子 想讲愿意还是不好意思
回赠同类桥段女主角 那一句让你做主

你用无限浓情蜜意 来做迷人玩意
还在没名份手指
感觉多么似  加冕光圈变天使
你用无限浓情蜜意来做迷人玩意
才明白原来在意

一世穿一次小玩意 是女人的大志

给生命线最终找到靠依 然后留下长住你心里
最深处是我地址 小小玩意纹着彼此名字
留待明日传颂你跟我 这一节完美情史

Pressed Flower Name Card Holder

Can you imagine? There are lots of stuff we may apply pressed flower art into it....

One thing, I really like to do is to put on the real pressed flower into the name card holder. Many out there, but what yours stand out? A personalised creation is the answer. In fact, it does bring more confident to me when I giving out my name card. No matter how small the action will be, it is happen for a reason.

1st year of my pressed flower experience

Well.... pressed and pressed and pressed... kept pressing flower, practicing the skills.. tried out lots of different kind of art piece. No matter how just want to do, that's really nothing can stop me.. I back to work, after came back from GZ, I work again. And for this round, I choose the 9-5 job. Is because I need time for pressed flower. Anyway, I still work as a profession and paid the full attention to my work when I was in the office. I started to think how can I work more for pressed flower by using my leisure time. I'm luckily enough to have a fully supported boy friend and family. So, most of the concentration has gone to my pressed flower thingy.

I look for a booth to sell my things. The term 'Pressed Flower' consider still very new to the people here. Most of them never believe that, that was the real flower sleep beautifully inside the earring, pedant, ring, bookmark, key chain, magnet deco, picture frame and so on. And minor of them knew about this are those who visited others country like State, British, Japan and Korea before, which these countries are popular with this pressed flower handwork.

Nevertheless, the response turn our quite well. Especially with the key chain and magnetic deco where I put a little more personalise work on it - people are allow to have a very short personalise message on it to make things more valuable for their special one!

Without any saying, pressed flower is truly means for personalise gift cause every single flower are stand on their own!

 

- Welcome to Daphne's Pressed Flower Art -

I don't know, something is calling me for Pressed Flower, I guess... otherwise, I won't really know what it is.

Been pressing flower for like 2 years++. Since that, pressed flower is something that I cannot resist. That's for real. Leave my job, went to Guang Zhou to learn this art always remind me of how much I in loved with this pleasant artistic work. Mingle around with flower is what we will always do.


Pick not only flower but also including foliage, fruit and all sort of plantations allow us to make a beautifully piece of picture frame. Besides, item like jewelery, name card holder, key chain, and etc.... are also can be made by pressed flower. Serve as an unique piece of item as every single flower petal, foliage got their own pattern. Shape was naturally grown.

I'm a working lady and pressed flower, without denied, is my great hobby! I love to do it whenever I'm free, or I'll still thought about it whenever my mind is free from other things. I used to dream, this so-called 'pressed flower' is one of it, and what's different is - I've put it into action. I learnt, I pressed and I turn it into a piece of artwork. Slowly and after, i realized that I'm just so in love in doing this. I'll be getting excited for just a leaf I picked up from the floor. It's amazing. Cause I never thought that I will have that felling with just this simple thing I get. But, it does.

Beautiful flower have their shortest life. That's what bordering me when I'm enjoying my break-term of resigning from the work. I'm attached to a flower shop as a helper at that period while looking for a job. It is a refreshing time and leads me to listen of what I really want. I still loving my profession as a communication personnel but just I don't know how long it will be last. Perhaps it is because the previous busier job that lead me to look for a balanced life-styled. That's how I came across to Pressed Flower.

Pleasant and delighting hobby make our life, work - balance, I always believe. There are no rules and regulations, no right or wrong; as long as it didn't troublesome others, I believe a hobby, it's always mean to beautify our life.
 
To extend the short-life of a flower, foliage or any plantation - I have called it 'Pressed Flower'

To expand the popularity of pressed flower - Is dream of mine.

与压花相遇的那年春夏。。。

与压花相遇好几年了。说长不长说短也不。就整2-3年的光阴吧！

离开了工作，毅然的追寻见也没见过的压花艺术的踪影。到底是为了什么呢？但那时就是想也没多想就是觉得要学压花，要知道更多有关压花的东西就是了！！！ 到了广州的第一天就想回家了。在想，我怎么会要在这待上3个月。。。一切都是自己的想法跟选择。选择上了，我不后悔。曾经有过这样的一个人问我学压花的想法到底是不是三分钟热度啊？那时我的答案虽然干脆利落，但暗地里的我却对自己的坚决有点丝丝的怀疑。对于自己突如其来想要做的东西及改变都觉得很不可思议，而事实上自己思绪里的矛盾却和实际行动上有了对照的反映。从网上搜索资料、 和老师接洽到筹备盘川安排住宿等等；这种种的行动确实的反映了也确定了自己的想法。并不是单纯的想要去做而已，而是真的很想去实现自己现在、那时很想很想做的东西。为‘它’框了一个很美的名词，我想那就是 - ‘梦想’吧。

觉得有梦想的人是幸福的所以过后在广州的每一天我都过得非常的开心也很珍惜。

很多时候都觉得自己是幸福的，有过一段疯狂的中学生涯与一斑好姐妹；认识了几位像家人般的同居密友；一起熬夜疯癫的大学学院战友及一起留学英国的你们。当然还有从没质疑过我的想法与决定的家人及爱我并一直默默支持我的你。是你们让我的梦想能够飞得更高更远。

人生当中有一位亦师亦友的导师已经很足够了。而我却有两位。她们都在我的生命当中划下了重要的足迹。我不晓得未来的日子里能不能够有你们，但你们确实的是为我的梦想里程掀开了重要一页。

嗯。。。说了那么多，还没谈到压花的感觉。但其实只要一谈到有关压花的事故，我应该会滔滔不绝吧我想。。压花吗。。。不晓得，就是碰上了、爱上了、感觉对了。。就停不了。我其实并不是特别喜好花的人，但自从某年某日的那天与花邂逅过后就好像与花有了不解之约。 好奇怪吧。。 但就是这样。人生本来就是有好多东西不在我们的掌控之中。

不想与花为伍的工作，选择了留学三个月再回来工作了两年。繁忙的工作有时真的压得我喘不过气来。而这时候又再次的与花的世界碰上了。这一回却让我认清了自己的心意。一段时间下来每一天看着花，觉得花美丽的时间太短暂了。心里一直在想要如何才能够把花的生命一直延续下去呢？？ 身边的导师告诉了我有关压花这名词。从此的我就与压花有了联系。

想把花的生命延续下去的想法带我到了一个与花草树木关联的世界。就这样，我到了广州，遇见了教导我的你、认识了一群喜好压花的友人；带我到树林里采揸野草、在路旁剪叶子、采树皮。 甚至还会对在路上不经意捡到的树叶而高兴了一整天。这就是压花的心情！必须是愉悦的！过程就是一种等待； 等待压出来的花、草、树皮、植物等的平面版画面。失望或开心完全操控于天然的花朵、草树等形状及颜色。有时我们会为得不到期待的花形及颜色而闷闷不乐，相反的却会因为压出来的效果漂亮其好而开心不已。。。

这种种的一切都深刻的绕印在我的脑海里。压花是一种娱乐、是一项嗜好更多的可以是性情升温的一种艺术活动。久而久之，我发觉压花的结果不管是何等的形状或颜色我都可以欢喜接受且很开心，因为，我享受的是压花的过程而不是结果。其次就是，我们应该珍惜大自然拟于我们的自然物体。不管颜色、 形状，都会是大自然界中最美好的一物。


拟于花草另一种生命，是压花。
