Well first off i thought it was a watercolor painting, and second your arrangement is colorful and beautiful 😍
Haha right!!! Me too!!!!
Me three! I'd buy it if I saw it for sale. Pleasing arrangement, beautiful 🎨. Fabulous job!!
I had to zoom in to see if they were real or painted! I love the composition. Very nicely spaced and balanced!
O, thank you)) I really glad you like it ❤️ I was worried that not all the flowers dried perfectly. I will continue to experiment with pressed flowers. Thank you for your high rating, it is very important to me)
So did I! This is phenomenal! Soooo pretty! 🤩💐
This. OP, if you made prints of this, you could sell them. If I saw a print of this for sale at a local festival or shop, I'd happily pay $20 or something for it.
It’s a lovely composition. The colours work beautifully together.
Thank you! I'm really glad that you like my piece. Playing with colours and composition is my passion)
Colour is an enormously important part of my existence. Have you ever taken the Muncell hue test? There’s a mini version available on line. It’s a fun way to test your colour acuity. You’re given four or five rows of colour blocks shading from one colour into another and you line them up properly. The lower your score the better your acuity. I do it every few years.
I agree!
On a scale of 1-10 ~ I give it a 15! It’s beautiful.
Thanks a lot! This was my first experiment with pressed flowers and your high rating inspires me to continue))
Just stunning! 10/10
❤️
Stunning. You have an excellent eye for composition and layout. Keep it up!
Thanks for your support ❤️ I'm going to keep experimenting with pressed flowers and make it better)
Really pretty💜
10/10 It's amazing, especially for your first attempt! I would hang this in my house
Thank you! It is very important for me to know that you like my pressed flowers! I'll think about starting to sell prints. I've never sold my work before, how much do you think it could cost?
I give it the rating of.... freaking awesome!
Thank you for the highest rating ❤️ it inspires me to improve my skills and continue)
10/10
Thank you ❤️
You know you killed that, it's above and beyond!
Thank you for such a high rating! Working with flowers is an incredible pleasure for me. And I'm really glad that you like it too))
Thats beautiful!
❤️
Love the pattern! I want to learn how to make one!!!
The flowers look great especially you saying it's your first time. Thanks amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Oh wow. That gorgeous! And for first time very well done, right balance and spacing. I'm jealous.
I love it!!!!
750,000/10 she’s beautiful
Wow, thank you for such hight rating! It inspires me to continue))
God I hate your talent. Life isn’t fair. I’d probably happily pay $50 for this at the market, but only because money is tight. It’s easily worth double that, more with the frame. It’s simply gorgeous. 10
Lovely!
I think it is beautiful! I love the composition.
So amazingly gorgeous! Wow!
Love it. Makes me miss my garden
Thank you) I collected flowers from my hometown and my mother's garden. This knowledge warms me when I look at these flowers
This is beautiful!! Amazing work!
Good job
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful!
Gobsmacked!!! That's beautiful!
Thank you so much ❤️
So pretty. Love the colors!
That’s amazing! Do you mind sharing how you got them to stay in place?
Awesome
Excellent!!
Definitely 11/10, beautiful work. Bonus marks awarded for first attempt.
Love this, beautiful composition, didn’t realise pressed flowers could be so vibrant.
Beautiful 15!
Very nice! I give it a 10/10.
Thank you ❤️
Beautiful!
Absolutely stunning. The colours are harmonious, and the placelent of each piece is perfectly balanced.
Thank you! I'm really happy that you like it 😽
Gorgeous!!
Really beautiful!
Oh wow! I thought this was a painting. Super cool! 5 out of 5 on beauty!
Thank you for such hight rating ❤️
10/10 gorgeous.
Absolutely gorgeous!
Love it!
That is so very pretty! Amazing job!
💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great job!
It's amazing, that's pressed dry flowers??! It's literally gorgeous I love that kind of stuff. Please make more!
A 20 out of 10. Wow, this is your first time doing this!?!! This is incredibly difficult to do, and you made it look effortless. It is cohesive and flows together nicely. You could so make these for people. Like from a wedding or a funeral or wake or just any special occasion where someone wants a keepsake wanting to save the flowers. I bought a candle from a lady who took the flowers I gave her from my mom's memorial, and it turned out great. You have a great talent here. It's beautiful.
I like how everything is spaced out just right, pretty colors and very nice!
For a first attempt, it doesn't look like a first attempt which just means you did a wonderful job.
It’s absolutely gorgeous. As other have said, I’d buy this in a store if I saw it. It’s striking. Love the colors & the arrangement. That said, how’d you keep the pressed flowers in the same spot while designing? I’m just getting into pressing flowers and I’m very interested in how you did that
I think it’s gorgeous, and I don’t usually like floral art or patterns (love flowers though). Very inspiring!
12/10!!! So vibrant. I’d buy it 😍
That's hot
That's hot
You have a gift for filling space. Beautiful placement.

Perfectly made! Just amazing.
Waaaay cool!
You did a great job and laying out the flowers and leaves and how you filled the space. I think it's gorgeous and I would love something like this
10/10! Excellent job!
It looks wonderful!
10/10
I love it!
Oh that’s beautiful 🤩 🌸 🌹 🌺!!!
Super cool, what do you use to press the flowers and how do you get them to retain their color?
Love it! It’s a 10👍
Fun! A great use of space and colors!
10/10. It’s drop-dead gorgeous. The flowers are arranged so beautifully. Good variety of colours that work well together too.
That’s beautiful!
10/10 :) gorgeous. Are you selling? Lol
Can I ask how the heck you get those Gallardia-looking flowers so flat?????? Amazing work!!
100/100, A++, grand slam!
Love it!
Well, I guess it’s ok. NOT! It’s amazing especially for a first try!
Indian summer

It’s beautiful!!!
Nice placement balance. It's a beauty for sure.
On a scale of 1-10 it’s an easy 12…. Good job!
AMAZING A+
For a first attempt it's beautiful.
But it looks too busy and you lose the daintyness of the flowers. However this could be coz I'm looking at a photograph instead of the real thing.
You've done an awesome job pressing the flowers. Put lots of white space around so our eyes get drawn to the flowers. Leaf prints maybe.
Show off the flowers.
Every year I buy a calendar that has x-ray of flowers. They are gorgeous.
11/10
Beautiful
I also thought it was a painting at first. Gorgeous! 😍
I’m no expert but can’t wait to see what else you do if ur first attempts look this stunning😍😍awesome omg
Nice
Art is very subjective, so every "rating" will be different. I personally think it’s beautiful, but I think what matters more is what you think! :) Keep practicing and learning, and that’s a great way to tell that you’re improving. Good luck on your art endeavours!
10/10! Just beautiful.😍
This is extraordinary! Could you describe the process, please?
It’s stunning, it’s obvious you spent so much time and put so much thought into it
That would be beautiful wallpaper.
You should put this in oddlysatisfying, this is awesome! Great job!
this is your first attempt? thats amazing!!
Wow! That's beautiful!!
17/10 beautiful!
insanely gorgeous! the layout is beautiful, use of colour all compliments each other and i think the boarder idea was an amazing one!!
WOAH. First attempt ???? You nailed it !!
I like it.
This made me smile! I’d totally buy this!!
What did you do to preserve the colors and protect the flowers? This is gorgeous!
I just stumbled on this , very pretty, I had to read more of the post to find out it’s pressed dried flowers my wife would love this thanks for sharing
The composition is so neat! All the colours and varying flora compliment each other nicely. It's got a very nice "eye path" for lack of a better word, just with how easily it all flows together if that makes sense? All the spacing between the flowers and leaves is so clean and evenly spaced; on a technical standpoint, it's super impressive. 11/10, astounding work!
Holy balance, Batman! That’s very lovely.
Amazing out of 10!
Love it! A very positive, colorful piece…
This is so pretty! 🌸🌼🪻
holy crap this is so beautiful 😻😻
This might be my favorite thing I've ever seen!!
Your placement is so beautiful. Amazing work
Amazing! I love the way you filled in the spaces, the patterns and colors, so beautiful, looks like a painting!
Wow! It's beautiful
Lovely 10/10
