Remember my Valentines Day flowers?

I’d like to say that I gave them heaps of care and attention when drying them. Ordinarily I’d have hung them upside down in a dark closet somewhere until they felt like paper, in order to achieve a shot like this.

Instead, I left them in their vase until all the water evaporated and they lost the will to live. Oops.

Either way, the effect is really beautiful. I love the dark outlines on the petals, and the way they retained their colour. I’m now trying to think of some sort of use for them, having turned last year’s roses into beads.

Does anyone have any ideas, aside from potpourri?
