I heart Macro

My frozen flower has turned out kind of neat!  I saw instructions for this a while ago and froze this flower back in the summer.  It took me a while to get around to photographing it.  So glad that I finally did it.   I am going for a walk this afternoon and hope to find some beautiful leaves and will try it with one!

There have been a couple of comments asking how I did this.  I froze a small amount of water in a take out container.  Once frozen I could pop it out of the container, add  water and my flower.  I then put the ice on top of the flower.  The ice weighted down the flower.  I then put it back into the freezer to freeze it all together.  When I was ready to shoot the frozen flower I removed it all from the container.  I also ran some water over it to melt away some of the ice and see the flower more clearly.  I hope this all makes sense!

    What a cool idea, freezing a flower for later! That might come in handy for my In a Vase on Monday meme. The frosty flower does have a nice icy quality, Angela. Did you have to dip it in water?

    It's pretty! I'm not familiar with freezing flowers.

I am not a gardener but I do love flowers.  It is so much fun for me to get out my macro lens and spend time photographing flowers up close and personal.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

  I am on a scroll roll.  This is the second one I started this week.  I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces.  I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours.   These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would.  That also feels good.   Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly.
