Resin flower preservation Caution guide

Resin is a durable, solid and transparent polymer making it the perfect material to preserve flowers.

Each resin piece is crafted by hand, subtle differences are expected and reflects the natural finish of the process rather than a flaw.

•Anti-yellowing & UV resistant. Resulting in a clarity, unparalleled by other resins on the market

•Solvent free

Flower drop off advisories:

Flower can be preserved in any state but please be aware this may effect the final appearance. I would always advise that flowers be dropped off as soon as possible as the fresher the flower the better end result.

Flower health:

Keep flowers in fresh water until 12 hours before drop off to preserve flower health. Please ensure the main flower body is dry 12 hours before drop off as this means they can go straight into drying. (For flowers older than 6-7 days old please keep tips of flowers in water until drop off)

Color Variations:

Brighter, richer colour flowers often keep there vibrancy or develop into a slightly deeper colour. Lighter pastel colours may become more muted. White flowers can turn a more ivory colour due to the drying process and air exposure.

Size limitation:

Depending on with shape/items you would like to preserve, this can impact the overall shape of the flowers. For larger pieces flowers may be pressed for a larger surface area. Where as smaller items may slightly compress a flowers shape. For thin items (eg. Coasters) some of the flower may be sanded away to create a perfect finish.

Depth my vary due to flower size

Imperfections:

Resin preservation is a delicate and careful art. No pieces are ever 100% the same which is what makes them so special! When preserving flowers in resin this may cause small air bubbles caused by trapped air. General temperature may speed up or slow down curing time which may cause imperfections.

General drying:

Flower petals may become slightly more transparent when enclosed in resin which can add a beautiful texture detail. Your preservation will not be identical to your original flowers. This is because flowers are most likely to shrink when dried, as well as a possible slight change of colour. Flower drying time may vary due to flower type and size

Most importantly all flowers are handled with care throughout the making process 🤍

Production time:

Please keep in mind full production time can take up to 10* weeks from flower drop off

Depending on the flower type and conditions, flowers will be dried for 3-5 weeks.

Once flowers are dried production time is around 3-4 weeks to make. (Production time may be longer for larger orders)

Payment options:

Payment is accepted through payment link or cash once items are In a finished state.
