Floral cats made of pressed and dried flowers

 

Dried and pressed flowers are a wonderful material for creating animal arrangements. Small twigs, tiny leaves, colorful petals and leaves. Cats usually come in subdued colors - black, brown, gray, white. Thanks to building them from flowers, we have bright, full-color images that are perfect for a gift for a cat lover.

 

Sketching the silhouette 

You can use a photo of a cat from the internet. Lightly sketch the shape of the head with a pencil, the position of the ears, eyes and nose. These are the most important elements. I always paint my eyes and nose with a black marker because they are the most important for the whole composition. 

 

Filling with dried flowers 

You can easily use large flowers and leaves to fill the surface. I build small spaces from small leaves and smaller flowers. A cat's mouth is usually made of small petals of different flowers. The whiskers are, of course, meadow grasses or thin twigs. Dried wheats also works great. Pressed ferns give a vivid green color, yellow from pansy and evening primrose, blue from tiny lobelia flowers. Fluffy ears are made from small leaves with jagged tips. Red geranium flowers are perfect for balancing yellows in whole composition. My flower cats find their new homes quickly, but for those who are interested, I have prepared a section with digital images in my Etsy shop. You can print Your own floral cats at home, or send files to print on demand companies.
