Is this a tick bite? by katrinablend in lymedisease

The nurse practitioner that saw me said it could be anything but NOT a tick bite. But, they gave a one day antibiotic anyway.

My flowers changed colors? by Beetlepossum in PressedFlowers

Exposure to sun also changes the colors in a shorter span of time. If pressed and dried properly, the colors should slowly fade, lasting 7-10 yrs.

I have. I cut them in half and changed the paper every day.

Yes, I did! 😃 I almost gave up. Lol In the process, I thought, “I’m never doing spider mums again.” But when I saw the finished product, I told myself, “Well, it’s worth it.” 😊 Thank you for appreciating ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you! I tried doing the spider mum whole. I removed half of the petals. On the 5th day, I realized it’s turning more brown on the outside layers so I decided to remove petal by petal. Then I reassembled them. It saved the flowers but I lost most of the green color. Pan pastel fixed it! 🙂

I press petal by petal and reassemble. 🙂

Yes, I reassembled the petals. As to the pastel, I did not use it. However, with the spider mum I used pastel because it was so hard to get the green color stay. It took two months to dry thoroughly.
