I've never tried to dry roses, but after seeing your picture I may give it a try.

Those are beautiful. I have two boutonnières and a corsage from yesterday, maybe I should try to dry them.

Lovely. Did you preserve these yourself? My efforts have been much less successful.

Carletta said...

Hi everybody,
Quilly asks if I did them myself and yes they are mine from a couple of bouquets from this past year.

Leora said...

Beautiful composition - I like how one rests upon the other.

Carletta, these are truly beautiful, a very nice way of preserving roses. Your photo is a treat on a wintery day.

Carletta: It is great to get a remembrance of warmer days through these dried roses.

Next step is to dip your dried roses in wax/parafin, the look is really pretty. It gives them an interesting composition and they last alot longer holding them together.

For the love of roses...have a great week you long haired maiden...from one to another...ha!

Very beautiful, Carletta.

I love drying roses. I just hang them upside-down and that works pretty well.

That's a very good macro of those dried roses Carletta!

Raven said...

Lovely....I got a dozen yellow roses once. Sigh. Long time since that has happened.

Your cardinals and hawk below make me a touch envious. I did see a new bird this morning. Not sure what it was but did get a fuzzy photo. Nice to see something not a crow for a change. Hope you are staying warm and safe.

My computer is not doing well, alas, but better than yesterday, so I'm very grateful.

A super shot of this lovely flower. It must have been gorgeous when alive as it still retains its beauty when dried.
