My Creative Process: Turning Your Varmala into Art

It all starts with patience and silica gel. I take your fresh or dried flowers and gently nestle them into moisture-absorbing salts, which dehydrates the petals while keeping their color and shape intact. This is not a quick overnight job, but it is the secret to getting that perfect, vibrant look inside the resin.

After the dehydration process, which can take several days depending on the flower type, I begin the arrangement phase. This is where we chat about your layout, whether you want to include photos, gold flakes, or specific calligraphy.

Once the design is set, I mix the epoxy resin and pour it in layers. This is the crucial part. I have to make sure there are no air bubbles trapped in the petals and that everything sits exactly where it should. I cure the piece in a dust-free environment, which ensures a high-gloss, glass-like finish that stays clear for years.

I handle fresh flowers, but I also love working with older keepsakes. If you have a wedding card from years ago or a bouquet that has been sitting in a box, send it over. I have successfully rescued flowers that were well over a decade old. My goal is to transform those items you would usually lock away into art you can keep on your desk or hang on your wall.
