Dried roses...

(edited using Kim Klassen's hughes texture)

The inexpensive grocery store bouquet of spray roses had certainly provided more than their money's worth of enjoyment.  They were dried up and dying and I was about to throw them out when I decided to capture the delicate crepe like state of the dried rose petals.

  1. Wow...did not know they could look that lovely. I've always wanted to try the silica sand drying process for some of my flowers. This photography turned out lovely. Also, love your header with the wonderful snow covered scenery as photograph snapshots. Nice..

  5. So lovely!I've thought of doing this but never have. I actually have a bouquet of red roses from my sweet hubby, so I think I'll try this in a few days!

  8. Lovely still, Elizabeth! My wedding bouquet was made with white roses. Unfortunately, they eventually turn very dark, even though I sprayed them. Still, I can't bear to throw them away. I wish they had stayed as pretty as yours!

  9. I am not a huge live rose fan... but I LOVE dried roses. Maybe it is that "delicate crepe like sate" that I like so much as well. Hmmmm? Got me thinking. Lovely photos.
