Create your own vibrant and sustainable botanical prints with 20 flower-pounding projects. Suitable for crafters of all levels.

You can make beautiful, colorful and surprisingly delicate prints by hammering the pigment from flowers and leaves with a mallet - a process known as 'flower-pounding'. These photographic step-by-step projects - ranging from indigo-leaf table runners to cosmos socks and viola tote bags - show you how to get the best results.

Not only can you find out how to grow the most suitable blooms in your garden and to forage wildflowers in the great outdoors, but you can discover which plants are best for dyeing; how to scour and mordant your fabric, paper or wood for accurate, long-lasting color; and which hammers, mallets and techniques work best on particular plants and base materials.

By the end, you will be able to take any of your favorite flowers, petals and leaves and turn them into sustainable printed textiles, greeting cards, and artwork that can be cherished for years to come.
