The lotus flower has
special meaning in many religions. Perhaps one of the strongest associations is
observed in Hinduism where the lotus
flower is associated with beauty, fertility, prosperity, spirituality and
eternity.
For my original pressed
flower art I used real lotus petals and root cuttings, gerbera daisy stems and
ginkgo leaves. The background was
created using gold leafing / gilding. For maximum color retention, this original pressed flower piece was vacuum sealed between a layer of mylar and acrylic. Then the mat
was topped with a layer of 99% UV glass.
