Updated: Jun 16, 2021
I found out what wonderful plant material is blooms of the Silk tree for my Pressed Plant Arts. I’ll show you some examples of how I used this botanical material for my creation on the Pressed Plant Arts.
First of all, I’ll show you it in my video for those who are not familiar with the Silk tree.
Now let's look at my Pressed Plant Collages where I used dried and painted with Pan Pastel blooms of the Silk tree.

On this Pressed Plant Art, I used one bloom of the Silk tree to create an image of some water plant. You can see it in the right corner at the bottom of my Pressed Plant Art.

On this Pressed Plant Art to create an image of a cat's face I used the blooms of the Silk tree.

But firstly I detached pink and left the only beige color of blooms.

After this, I used for the image of the cat's face dried blooms of the Silk tree.

The lion's mane on this Pressed Plant Art is made of dried and painted with Pan Pastel blooms of the Silk tree. I colored blooms in different shades of yellow color and dark-brown color.

Dried blooms of the Silk tree are very good stuff to create feathers for the bids on the Pressed Plant Arts too.
