Petal (and herb) rubbing

I found myself dead-heading the geraniums the other day (thanks Debra!) and loving the wild, brilliant colors of the flowers that were in full bloom. I pinched just a few petals and played with the rubbing technique that I had used while traveling last month when we wandered into a rose garden after a very strong Mistral wind which left many petals on the ground. My sister, niece and I had such fun finding spoons to work with and transferring the petal image to our journals. I thought I'd also try rubbing some herbs and was surprised to find that dill and mint seem to transfer so beautifully. I prefer to rub rather than pound as it seems to preserve the delicate shapes.
