Hearts A Burstin'
The business name Hearts a Burstin' came from a native shrub growing in our woods.
About Me
- Sarah
- A multi-media artist since the time she could glue construction paper together and an avid gardener, 19-year-old Sarah Samsel combines her passions for creating and creation through “pressed flower art.” In addition to flower petals, Sarah uses foliage, seeds, bark, fruit and vegetable peels/husks and a variety of other natural materials to create pictures, many of which feature animals or historic buildings or depict a simple lifestyle in the Georgia mountains. Sarah got her start in pressed-flower art by making greeting cards, both for local shops and on commission, but has since turned exclusively to framed original art. Sarah is a member of the World Wide Pressed Flower Guild. You can visit their website at www.wwpfg.org.

It looks like it will be a wonderful picture! Was this your own idea, or was it a requested/commissioned piece?
Thank you for the comment! This picture was not a commission. It started out from my own idea and has grown and grown until it has become a big lesson on perspective, composition, preservation of my materials and a little bit of ship research. Now I have to figure out how to make the water- that could be a pretty tedious job. But no matter. I'm in my elemenr, bent over a picture a couple hours at a time cutting and gluing tiny pieces of eucalyptus leaves!
