But Aracil\u2019s method is a bit different, relying on large cone-shaped molds into which carefully woven patches of hand-picked flower stems are placed. The pieces dry for up to a month without the aid of adhesives and are sprayed with a light varnish to protect the sculpture from moisture. The final pieces, which could be crushed with even the slightest weight, are rigid enough to stand without support.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On <a href=\"http:\/\/el-nogal.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>trumblr<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pressed flowers sculptures of Ignacio Canales Aracil.\u00a0Spanish artist. \/ Source : ThisIsColossal The art of flower pressing dates back thousands<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[220,1332,699,16,179],"tags":[4003,82,40,177,59,3776,682,3623,3774,194,1566,2984,3772,3773,305,20,3775],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6hYQX-2i2","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6766,"url":"https:\/\/www.lilavert.com\/blog_lilavert\/organic-sculptures-of-leigh-taylor-mickelson\/","url_meta":{"origin":8806,"position":0},"title":"Organic sculptures of Leigh Taylor Mickelson","author":"LilaVert I-I","date":"12\/04\/2014","format":"gallery","excerpt":"Organic sculptures of Leigh Taylor Mickelson (USA) \"My ceramic sculpture explores the different components of self, sexuality and family, and how these components relate and conflict with one another.
