Pocket Flower Press by June & December

Description

We are excited to present a new product line that is perfect for the gardener, journaler and flower-printer from June & December, a nature-inspired design studio based in Michigan. We know we have a lot of gardeners, bundle dyers and eco-printers in our community, so we wanted to equip you with beautiful and useful tools you need for this gardening season. 

For those of you who love to eco-print on fabric with flat, open flower blossoms and leaves, this kit is for you. June & December designed their Pocket Press to be light for travel and functional for use in the wild and in the garden. The press looks lovely on a shelf while working hard to press your botanical specimens. These linen-covered presses include reusable pressing cards made from 100% post-consumer waste, which is a recycled, acid-free card stock to best preserve your botanical specimens. Each press has a gold foil wildflower on the cover with patterned inside cover details and includes two heavy bands, seven reusable pressing cards, and an instruction card. Smaller and more compact than the Field Press, the Pocket Press can be tucked into a daypack for collecting and pressing al fresco.

Once the specimens are fully pressed and dried, they are ready to be mounted in the Herbarium Journal, or make their way onto your latest eco-printed creation.
