For the love & joy of flowers
Artful flower preservation, decor and accessories
Introducing: 100% silk scarf designed with flowers from my garden
I made something that doesn't exist anywhere else and gives back to vulnerable Chicagoans. It also makes you look like a gifting genius!
100% silk twilly scarves featuring flowers I grew myself in my Chicago garden.
No mass production. No store-bought energy. Just my blooms, my pressed flower practice, and a one-of-a-kind design in two colors.
10% of each purchase goes to the Greater Chicago Food Repository.
Hello, flower friend!
I’m Ana, pressed flower artist from Chicago, and I will turn your sentimental flowers into a work of art.
My passion for flower preservation started with growing my cutting garden from seed in my urban front yard. I press flowers with the traditional method and create fine jewelry with precious metals and gems, art and functional homeware.
Flower pressing is a slow art that unfolds over many weeks and months. It cannot be rushed. Or spun up on a conveyor belt. It comes from my own hands to your own home, with much love and care.
Wedding flower preservation: Pressed flower art, any way you dream it
Your most cherished flowers - from special celebrations to weddings to memorial services - are deeply meaningful. Which is why they don’t belong in the trash or stashed away in a closet.
They should be seen and admired: as artwork, finely crafted jewelry or stunning functional decor.
There’s (almost) no limit to what your flowers can become.
