Will my flowers look different dried?Flowers do look different from when they are fresh vs dried. Drying flowers in silica sand is the best way to preserve the flowers' natural shape and beauty with the least amount of color change. Still some color changing is inevitable with certain flowers; reds and purples can become very dark; whites can turn a little tan/cream, shape; in general, most flowers darken a shade.
-
How Do I Care For My Resin Art?To clean, only wash with soap, water, and a soft towel. Using any sort of chemicals could ruin the surface of your piece. Not dishwasher safe. Keep out of direct sunlight!
-
Can I use older, already dried flowers?Of course! Dried flowers make beautiful pieces of art as well; they are used in the same way as fresh flowers. Also, the resin process will protect them from any further damage to last a lifetime.
-
What happens if some of my flowers are in poor condition when I send them?We will select the best blooms from what you send. In most cases, with commonly used flowers such as roses, we can use our studio flowers as a replacement at no extra cost.
-
Is there an order minimum $?We have a $250 order minimum for all flower preservation orders due to the time and energy required to make a preservation from start to finish.
-
Can I preserve artificial flowers?Of course! Some thin, fabric-like artificial flowers become slightly translucent once put in resin, however.
