🌿A story born in a small forest
When the autumn wind feels a little cold,
Mushrooms quietly pop up in the forest.
Rabbits play in the sunlight filtering through the trees,
The sound of the wind blowing through the leaves is soothing to the soul.
I painted this scene using pressed flowers.
The theme of this work is
"The mushroom forest and the little rabbit that lives there."
A story of a quiet forest told through pressed flowers.
🍂"Forest Life" drawn with flower petals
King oyster mushrooms and shimeji mushrooms are pressed into "pressed vegetables" just like pressed flowers.
The addition of cranesbill moss expresses the depth of the forest.
The rabbits are made from pink rose petals,
It has a gentle color that makes you smile gently.
Each pressed flower is
Flowers and leaves that once swayed in the wind and bloomed in the light.
While locking away those memories,
It brings the breath of the forest into a picture book-like world.
In the forest nurtured by sunlight, blessed rain, and gentle breezes,
Today, the rabbits continue to play, sleep, and chat softly with their friends.
When I listened carefully to that voice...
What story comes to your mind?
🪶The thoughts behind pressed flowers
For me, pressed flowers are
It is a "small miracle that preserves the beauty of a moment forever."
The color, shape, and transparency of the petals—
All of these are evidence that they lived naturally.
Every time I touch it, I feel the warmth of life.
Through the work,
A small story will emerge in the hearts of those who see it,
I hope you will feel as if you are taking a leisurely walk through the forest.
