Making a botanical plaster cast.
These flowers were taken from a wedding I recently went to. The arrangements were all so whimsical and beautiful that I wanted to somehow stop time so they couldn’t wilt away. But I don’t have that super power, so instead I made a plaster cast/mould. Alas, as usual when I finished this process, I thought it’s not nearly as beautiful as when the flowers are first pressed into the soft clay and I felt a wee bit sad for them, but it’s really still so beautiful in its simplicity. Hmmm, I think I’ll try making a plate from this one and give it some colour.
