Herbarium Journal






Last summer I collected many blossoms from the yard and perserved their lives between pages of books. As the cold winter continues I decided to start working on a little herbarium joural. I combined some of the fun techniques I learned last year at Art & Soul from L.K. Ludwigs class. I can't wait to see how this one will end.

In the Victorian days women used to make their own herbariums: the collecting, mounting and labeling of pressed plants, to give as keepsakes or tokens of friendship.

Enjoy,

These are such beautiful pages. They make me long for the warm summer days and my flower gardens in bloom.
