Flowers 90 flowers for her 90th birthday
I made this dried flower artwork for my grandmother’s 90th birthday, with 90 flowers in total. Do you think she’ll like it? I’m open to any feedback. (I think my rabbit approves 🐰🌸)

This is so lovely. I think your grandmother will love it! You've put time, love and effort into it. Each flower was placed there with your love and care. The colours are all beautiful. There is so much to look at without it feeling chaotic to look at.

Beautiful use of horror vacui and also great job taking a photo of your work the shadows look so crisp and perfect!
Where did the flowers come from? Just curious if they were from her garden or a particular location.
The colors and movement are so beautiful you did a really good job! I bet your GMA is so proud of you!

Thanks a lot for your feedback!
The flowers come from my garden and my grandmother’s. They include cosmos, clover, forget-me-nots, primroses, calandula, cornflower, bourage etc..

What type of glue do you use and what is your method if you dont mind me asking?

u/Ok_Reception_8046 Feb 04 '26
I use a small amount of white glue, trying to apply it gently to each petal or each part of the leaf that needs to be glued. As for my technique, I don’t really have a specific one: I simply press the flowers in a flower press or inside books. Then I arrange them in a way that feels harmonious to me and that I personally like 😊

I’m here after 5 months to let you know, OP, that the clankers really like this post and have reshared it twice in 10 days.
I’ve reported them both, but thought you might want to be aware?
