About
Take a journey through the seasons in this beautiful book, made entirely from hand-pressed plants.
Artist Helen Ahpornsiri transforms petals, leaves and seeds into bounding hares, swooping swallows and fluttering butterflies. Turn the page to watch flowers unfold, see birds take flight or peek inside animal homes. Marvel at the magic of each moment and rediscover the wonders of a year in the wild . . . Helen Ahpornsiri creates intricate collages using real flora and foliage. Each illustration is made up of hundreds of leaves and flowers which are foraged or grown, then preserved with traditional flower pressing methods. The plants are organised by species or colour before being cut and delicately arranged to form birds, insects and other creatures; all filled with tiny patterns and tangles of plant life. Helen lives in Eastbourne, Sussex, in the UK. The four seasons are brought to life in art made entirely from pressed flowers and leaves. All the artwork is crafted from carefully picked and hand-pressed plants With a lyrical yet informative text, this is a book to share together as the seasons change Helen Ahpornsiri has over 70,000 followers on Instagram Cover finishes: matt lam, with spot UV, embossing and 100% gold foil
