I'm entirely late to the party, as always, but I was recced Some Good News. It's been giving me a giggle this afternoon. It's cheery and silly and touching.

Picked a bunch of flowers to press. I didn't think I would have enough to fill up the press, but I actually had a hard time fitting them all in. I might build myself something bigger sometime--plywood and wingnuts--so I have room to do fancy layouts of plants. I did put these ones on watercolor paper. I'm hoping the pigments that ooze out as they dry will leave some interesting patterns on the paper after the flowers come off. I can paint and ink around them after that. A project!

Let's just have a nice afternoon, please and thank. Just for a little while.
