Treasured Forever
Preserving your flowers in resin is a beautiful and creative way to cherish their beauty for years to come. With a high level of skill, your flowers will be suspended in a clear, hard resin that will showcase their natural beauty and preserve them forever.
You have the option to incorporate unique embellishments like cork, ribbon, or jewelry. In addition, I offer ash preservation services. Information about this can be found here.

Packaging your flowers is one of the most important steps to the preservation process as it ensures your flowers get to me in the best possible condition.

The preservation process is a slow and precise process which means it takes time. It is also a handmade process which means not every item will be ‘perfect’.

Resin art pieces require gentle care and attention to protect the integrity of the finish and to ensure your piece remains beautiful for years to come.

Preserving ashes in resin is a unique way to honour the memory of a loved one. The process involves mixing a small amount of the cremation ashes with resin, which creates a beautiful and personalised piece of Jewellery or art.
There are many types of special touches that can be added to resin to create a unique and personalised piece. Some examples include adding glitter, metallic flakes, jewellery, or other small objects.
The Flower Preservation Process
ONE
Once your flowers have been delivered they will be trimmed and placed in silica gel to dry. This process generally takes around 3-4 weeks although some types of flowers can take longer.
TWO
Once your flowers are dry I will start to experiment with different arrangements based on the items you have chosen. I will then send over a couple of options to you to choose from. Please note this will only be the case for large pieces.
THREE
This is the longest part of the process as the resin is poured in layers and can take days to cure. The number of layers it takes depends on the mould.
FOUR
Once your resin is out of the mould it gets sanded and top coated to give it a really glossy finish. Not all pieces require this step but many do.
FIVE
Once your items are all finished they will be polished and then packaged up ready to be sent back out to you.
