New Work

While I have not posted anything in some time, I have. been very busy creating.  My most popular framed pieces are my reverse composition silhouette pictures.   Here are some examples.  Check out my show schedule to see where I'll be starting in June 2023.  All items were created with pressed plants along with a few extra ingredients such as hornet's nest in some cases.  They are 8x10" framed.  Email me at info@BGTreasures.com for more information. Enjoy!

These original pressed flower pieces were matted to an 8x10" frame

.

These items are still available in 2024

  

The following items have been sold but may be available as framed or matted prints.

  

  

#475 – Team Greyhound

This colorful team of whimsical greyhounds look like they are enjoying hanging out together as if posing for a photograph.  I wonder if they will decide to run laps or lay down and take a nap as greyhounds do.

Botanicals used on the dogs from left to right were blue hydrangea, astrantia, arum leaves and bougainvillea with garnet hydrangea. This picture is 11"x14" framed and vacuum sealed with anti-UV conservation glass for maximum protection.  

While this piece has been sold, contact me if you are interested in a print or potentially another original using this design.  

#476 – Shades of Purple

I became fond of greyhounds after my daughter rescued her sweet dog, Imus.  They have so much personality.  This vibrant pup was made from daisies, larkspur and queen Anne's lace of many shades of purple.  I love how it came together and hope you do too!  It is 8"x10" framed.

It was vacuum sealed and covered with 99% anti-UV conservation glass for maximum protection.

Price:  $75.00 -- If interested, contact me at info@bgtreasures.com

 

Original Pressed Flower Cards

It is always fun to create cards from my freshly pressed flowers.  The first group of 5"x7" cards feature pressed larkspur and delphinium freshly harvested from my garden.    

The following card was made from dyed lily of the valley.  The stems were placed in red floral dye when harvested.  Then they are pressed.  

This card features a dragon fly made from cone flower and veronica and was sealed using a decoupage technique.  It is frame ready.  

 

Bridal Bouquet

 I preserved this 14"  x 18" bridal bouquet for my great niece.  Many of the flowers were pretty rough by the time I got them but I was still able to create a beautiful memory keepsake for her.  By the way, her wedding ceremony and reception were amazing!

Memorial Commissions

I'm always honored to preserve flowers associated with the loss of a loved one.  Sometimes all it takes is a single rose, a stem of liatris and a stem of larkspur from a funeral to create a beautiful 11" x 14" framed memory.  

This was an especially emotional request.  My client lost one of her twin girls in utero.  Thankfully the second twin is still thriving.  The butterflies reflect one twin in heaven looking down at her sister.  This picture was 14" x 18" framed.  

#446 - Dream Home

I grew up in a home just a few yards from Cayuga Lake in NYS.  It was not uncommon for water to splash on my bedroom window when the water was rough.  It required climbing many, many steps to go anywhere, but it seemed worth it to me at the time.  If I were to return to living on the water front, this could be my dream home.  I would be happy renting it for a week or more when vacationing!  How about you?  

It is 11" x 14" framed.  The water and sky were made from hydrangea. The house was made primarily from fall sumac leaves of various shades.
