Dark Green Queen Anne's Lace on stem 20 x 36

This is a life size Queen Anne’s Lace. I put the stem in black food coloring which draws the color up into the stem and flower. I then press, preserve and dry the plant material. After I created the design on a white background I permanently seal the piece. I used an embossed green mat on this and a gold wooden frame. The finished size is 20 x 36.
