forget me nots, from my garden

[jac extreme]

Hi guys,
just wanted to show you these, after seeing the last thread re dried flowers I asked my hubbie if we had any, he being a keen gardener said and I quote
"oh for gods sake what do you think these blue things are all over the **********garden" I got really exited and found a flower press my daughter got for xmas a few years ago from my hubbies mum(also a keen gardener) well as she is 13 obviously she has never used it sooo I thought I would have a go. I did what Glo said in her post and waited three days, hope this is clear enough.

Wow! I am going out first thing in the morning to see if my garden have them too..brilliant idea jacquie, as these are very expensive to buy rady pressed.

 

[heavenly]

Wow! I that the suppliers must have shipped them over from Timbucktoo by the extortionate prices that they charge, but no, you can get them from your own garden for free!
They look great x

Just think get planting some different colours & you've your own little nail art plants growing in your garden, how fab is that!

Lovely work.
Ive got some drying as we speak!
would I secure to a tip with resin before going over with L+P?
If I am sculpting how do I add them?
any advise?

Sorry to question this, as it looks so good!!!

But, Do you know if you get any problems using flowers from the garden??? Some of the ones I bought from Excel in Feb, left stains on the nail, (probably as the flowers must have been dyed). But are flowers straight from the garden/dried likely to cause any reaction to a clients natural nails????

Wow, they look brilliant...I bought some little flowers the other day a massive tray for £3 but they seem to like growing and I have not got round to pressing any yet!!!

But i will now i have seen your good work!!!

Hi Jo, I put a bit of resin down first then L&P over the top, sculpting should work the same,

welsh geek,
I had a red one on my nail last year, which did not stain at all, I would not think that nails from the garden would cause any harm, maybe you got a dodgy batch.
