THE PROCESS

Once your florals have been received at Daisy Chains they are meticulously arranged and dried using a professional grade drying agent to ensure they maintain their natural shape. Every flower dries at a different rate - from 3-4 weeks. Some flowers will deepen several shades in colour during this process. Once all flowers are dried I careful remove from the drying agent and they are staged within your selected mould. Once the flowers have been arranged the casting process can begin. A non toxic crystal clear liquid resin is poured in many layers to ensure the natural integrity of the petals are maintained. 

The whole process can take up to 16 weeks.

All items are hand crafted so imperfections can occur - this adds to their charm. Small bubbles often arise and petals can go transparent when they come in contact with resin.

Once the casting is finalised and removed from its mould I sand the top layer and then flood coat with a final layer of resin. Each heirloom is then gift wrapped and posted to be treasured for years to come!
