Pressing method Ferns and other flat-surfaced leaves are preserved by the pressing betweennewspaper method, and although done in this manner they remain flat,some very interesting lines and shapes can be retained. Funkia leaves canbe folded double and placed between sheets of newspaper, while Iris,Gladioli, Ivy, Raspberry leaves and all ferns can be dried in the same way,although it must be remembered the leaves will be brittle and not pliable aswith the Glycerine method. Plenty of newspaper should be used as this willabsorb the moisture and some weighty objects such as books should beplaced on the top of the pile to ensure even pressure. |
