🌸 Garden Blooms into Wearable & Home Art: My Review of Hammered Flowers

As someone who spends countless hours tending to my home vegetable garden and flower beds here in Southern California, I am always searching for creative, hands-on ways to preserve the natural beauty of fresh plants.

Crafting with real botanical elements is such a therapeutic, fulfilling hobby, but I honestly had no idea just how simple it is to create striking botanical prints using plant pigments until I picked up this book!

That is why Hammered Flowers: Printing on Fabric, Paper and Wood by Michelle Moore immediately captured my creative heart.

This inspiring guide turns basic garden and foraged botanicals into vibrant works of art.

🔨 Simple Techniques, Endless Creative Possibilities

What makes Michelle Moore’s book so wonderful is how approachable she makes the process of flower pounding (tataki zome).

Key highlights of this gorgeous instructional book include:

  • Step-by-Step Guidance: Clear, easy-to-follow instructions walk you through selecting the right plant materials, preparing surfaces, hammering techniques, and fixing natural colors.
  • Versatile Surfaces: Learn how to transfer natural botanical dyes onto fabric, paper, and raw wood to create custom tote bags, stationery, framed wall art, and home decor.
  • Breathtaking Photography: The book is filled with gorgeous, vibrant photography that serves as immediate inspiration for your next project.

Synopsis

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 sustainable 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 flowers from the wild, but you can discover which plants are best for dyeing; how to pre-treat your fabric, paper or wood for bright, long-lasting color; and which hammers, mallets and techniques work best on particular plants and base materials.

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