*** ALREADY DRIED FLOWERS ***

If you have flowers that you have already dried yourself, I can likely still preserve them. Contact me for information before ordering.

Message me to get the mailing information needed for sending your flowers.
When you place your order, you are agreeing to the understanding that some flowers change color as they dry, they may darken or change tone and some flowers just do not dry well. If you’d like to talk any specific flowers before you order then please send me a message. Some flowers may also change color slightly within the resin over time.

All of my pieces are handmade, by me and so they will not look like they have been manufactured by machine. There will be small bubbles – and these can cause occasionally teeny pits on the side surfaces. Every piece I make is one of a kind and so I consider small imperfections to be part of the charm of a handmade memory piece.

Once you place your order, I will provide you with the address to send your flowers to.

A lovely memory keepsake to have displayed in your home or given to a loved one as a keepsake gift.
(If you would like colored glitter, silver or gold leaf flakes or a colored background, message me and I will make a custom order for you at no extra charge)

Fresh Flower Care, until they can be shipped.
1. DO NOT place your fresh flowers in a freezer and DO NOT let your flowers freeze.
2. If flowers or bouquets have stems, cut ¼ inch off the bottom of the stems and place in a vase of water.
3. If the flower stems are inserted into a green floral foam, moisten the foam with water.
4. Keep them out of direct sun and heat.

We also suggest letting us add greens or accent flowers, we will help you with this. These are hand-crafted, not made by machines, there may be small flaws and no two are the same. Each paperweight is very unique and special, created from your flowers or keepsakes to enjoy….
The color of your dried flowers determine the color of your finished product- Please remember, the chemical of the resin can make some of your petals look translucent or even darker.
BUYER AGREEMENT:
----------------------------
By purchasing, you agree that I can not be held responsible for lost, damaged or stolen packages, to or from me, or damaged/undesirable outcomes during the drying and creating process. I will keep in contact with you throughout the process and if the flowers don;t arrive in good shape I will let you know and you can decide if you want to proceed with the order.

Please be aware flowers dry differently depending on the type, timing, etc. Colors may shift and blooms may shrink. I do my VERY BEST to make sure your piece is as lovely as possible, but there are some variables through the process that are out of my control. I have never had a problem, but need to make sure we understand each other.

Handmade resin creations are a labor intensive process to get the flower into position. Due to the nature of the resin making process tiny air bubbles usually occur.
Each item in my shop is made by hand and not a machine so tiny bubbles, bumps little gaps and slight imperfections are part of the unique characteristics of the resin creations!
The back or bottom side will be slightly bumpy,uneven due to a natural heating process in a resin and drying.
The front and back sides are more glossy,clear than sides around ( some kind of frosty effect).

Eventually the white roses in your bouquet, corsage or floral arrangement will begin to turn brown, a natural occurrence as the blossom starts to fade. While this happens to all roses, the browning is more evident in white roses, as there is no color to conceal the evidence of the transformation. White flowers tend to yellow as they dry, roses are no exception.Another thing to remember is to dry them before they get too old. The longer the flower has been picked the more chance there is for it to turn brown.The paperweight has slight imperfections, this is because it is handmade and everything is done by hand with handmade by me molds for resin. There may be bubbles, porosities and droplets of resin.
Since the resin is a type of plastic, is possible to have a change in color and transparency over time.The color of your dried flowers determine the color of your finished keepsake. The chemical of the resin can make some of your petals look translucent or even darker.
Some flowers change color as they dry, they may darken or change tone and some flowers just do not dry well. Some light colored flowers keep their color well but some not. Flowers tend to yellow and brown as they dry, roses are no exception.
Another thing to remember is the longer the flower has been picked the more chance there is for it to turn brown.
And sometimes there is a chemical reaction in resin that affects the color of the flowers.
You never know until the product is done.
It is no a toy for kids.
