What on Earth is flower pounding? It's the latest
method of making beautiful, gently colored wall hangings while easing
your daily frustrations by pounding on fabric with a hammer:-))
Flower Pounding will have you looking at fresh flowers
in a whole new way. You can make beautiful projects using
flower pounding. It's amazing to see what colors emerge as you
hammer flowers into fabric! They don't always pound into the color
you think they will. For example, red Gerbera daisies can turn
brown when pounded. Purple clematis turn a blackish/brown color.
Lilac colored flowers also tend to turn green when pounded.
Light-colored flowers don't have much pigment, so they make a great water color
effect.
To pound flowers, you will need a roll of 2" wide
masking tape, paper towels, a hard surface, a hammer and these items you
can order from QuiltBus:
-
specially treated fabric (directions are in the book)
-
Earth toned pigma pens, size .05 (click here to order) to decorate your
project when it is complete.

preserving a rose from your wedding bouquet or your daughter's prom
corsage--in a quilt! Now you can do that and much more with Flower
Pounding. Learn fun, easy methods for transferring pigment from fresh
flowers directly onto specially treated muslin. Display treasured mementos or your
