One of my posters for my final major project is about a scene with Ophelia in it and since she talks about flowers a lot and my tutors are really into me using the context of the scene to influence the design... and to err.. not use my mac so much....what? I finally worked it out!
But I totally get what they mean so I thought ooo I could press my own as a background. So I went and bought some and put them in a book, with many books on top of them (see picture) but they really weren't that pressed after 2 days. So, after a little research, I then discover that you should really leave them for several weeks not days.
Now, I don't have weeks so I was pleased to discover that you can put them in the microwave for 30 seconds to a min at a time to speed up the process. Yes, the microwave! But a small warning, it does smell and the pages of your book do get stained (you put the book in the microwave too) but it don't half work a treat!
Just got to wait for them to dry out now.
