I have wanted
to create a pressed flower lighthouse for some time, but I struggled with
finding enough flower petals for the sky and water. This was resolved when I decided to use corn
husks instead of petals. It was
challenging to find suitable dyes which penetrated the husks in realistic
colors. I hope you like the end result.
Additional
botanicals include miscellaneous tree bark, banana skin, coreopsis, grass,
maiden hair fern, beehive, penta and miscellaneous ferns and leaves.
Framed, the lighthouse is 16" x 20" in size and is protected with a layer of 99% UV acrylic. It has also been vacuum sealed.
This original was sold at the Keuka Art Festival in Penn Yan. Prints (11" x 14") and 6" x 6" trivets are available.
