Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing a pressed flower picture using raw flowers.

  Conventionally, in order to create a pressed flower, it has been necessary to dry raw flowers in advance as a material for the pressed flower picture. Moreover, in order to produce a beautiful pressed flower picture, it is natural that there is no discoloration or deformation in the pressed flower as a material.

  When producing a pressed flower, discoloration or deformation of the flower is most likely to occur when the fresh flower is dried. For this reason, when producing pressed flowers from raw flowers, it is necessary to prevent discoloration and deformation and dry them. Also, generally, a pressed flower is produced by drying a fresh flower by blowing warm air on it.

  As a manufacturing method of the above-mentioned press flower, the applicant of the present application polymerizes a plurality of plate-like sandwich members made of a breathable material in an upright state in order to create a pressed flower without discoloration or deformation, and between each plate-like sandwich body The pressed flower is sandwiched between the pressed material, blown warm air from the bottom to the top of the plate-shaped sandwiched body, passed through the end of the plate-shaped sandwiched body using the air permeability of the plate-shaped sandwiched body Disclosed is a tool for producing dried pressed flowers in which the material is dried. (For example, see Patent Document 1).

  The present invention is a flower formation in which a plurality of raw flowers are alternately sandwiched between a plurality of hygroscopic papers, and a three-dimensional raw flower is formed in a substantially flat shape by placing a weight on the uppermost hygroscopic paper. Place the flower formed in a flat plate shape in the process and flower formation process on the hygroscopic thin film paper upside down, and press the part with high moisture content of the flower with heavy weight to remove moisture from the flower A drying promoting step that exudes and absorbs in advance with a hygroscopic thin film paper, and the flowers and flowers from which the exuded moisture has been removed by the drying promoting step are placed on a breathable mat superimposed on the hygroscopic paper, A flower drying process in which a flower is dried by heating at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time, and porous fine particles and a pigment that adsorb ethylene gas in advance on the arrangement surface of the pressed flower on the surface of an elastic pressed flower picture board. Applying and then placing the pressed flowers Sandwiching a pressed picture board with pressed flowers between a transparent hard board and a light-shielding film that does not allow gas to pass through, and joining the peripheral edge of the transparent hard board and the light-shielding film while sucking air to the outside And a flower-sealing process for sealing the flower arranged on the arrangement surface of the flower-flower mount in a fixed state, and in the flower drying process, a heating device having a heat transfer plate capable of maintaining a constant temperature. The heat transfer plate kept at a predetermined temperature is pressed from the surface of the flower for a certain period of time to prevent the generation of water vapor from the surface of the flower and generate water vapor from the back of the flower. The present invention provides a method for producing a pressed flower picture, characterized by being absorbed through a hygroscopic paper laid through the air-permeable mat and under the breathable mat.

  That is, the method for producing a pressed flower picture in the present invention can be performed in the order of a flower formation process, a drying acceleration process, and a flower drying process, thereby producing a dried pressed flower that is a material used for the pressed flower picture from raw flowers. it can. Furthermore, a pressed flower picture can be produced by performing the pressed flower arrangement process and the pressed flower sealing process in this order.

  Then, in the flower drying step, heat transfer that is maintained at a predetermined temperature using a heating device (for example, an iron or the like) having a heat transfer plate (for example, a heat radiating plate such as an iron) that can maintain a constant temperature. By pressing the plate from the surface of the flower for a certain period of time, the generation of water vapor from the surface of the flower is prevented and the water vapor is generated from the back surface of the flower, and the generated water vapor passes through the air-permeable mat and passes through the air-permeable mat. It absorbs with the hygroscopic paper laid underneath. In this way, by preventing the moisture from evaporating from the surface of the dried flower, it is possible to produce a pressed flower in a state close to a raw flower with a transparent feeling on the surface of the dried flower. A pressed flower picture using as a material can be a beautiful pressed flower picture with primary colors.

  The pressed flower arranging step is characterized in that porous fine particles (such as talc) are applied, and a pigment is further applied on the applied porous fine particles. As a result, the completed pressed flower picture can be kept beautiful without discoloration for a long time. Furthermore, by applying porous fine particles, for example, coloring with pastel (a pigment obtained by solidifying with a water-soluble binder) or the like becomes easy.

  Moreover, in the said flower drying process, while maintaining the temperature of a heat exchanger plate (heat sinks, such as an iron) at 100-140 degreeC, the pressing time to the flower of the said heat exchanger plate is prescribed | regulated between 60-180 second. ing. That is, for example, the temperature of the heat transfer plate is maintained at 110 ° C. within a range of the specified temperature (100 to 140 ° C.) of the heat transfer plate and the pressing time (60 to 180 seconds) to the flowers, and about 90 seconds. By heating the surface of the flower, the thin flower can be made almost dry, which is suitable for the material of the pressed picture. In addition, thick flowers are not completely dry, but are semi-dried with some moisture, but can be used as a material for a fully pressed flower.

  Furthermore, when the flower to be dried in the flower drying process is larger than the heat transfer plate (a heat radiating plate such as an iron), the heating temperature of the heat transfer plate is maintained at 130 ° C., and the surface of the flower is moved for about 90 seconds. By heating, it is possible to obtain a dried or semi-dried pressed flower suitable for the material of the pressed flower picture. That is, depending on the size and thickness of the flower, the temperature of the heat transfer plate (heat radiating plate such as an iron) and the pressing time to the surface of the flower are within a prescribed range (the temperature of the heat transfer plate is 100 to 140 ° C., By appropriately changing the pressing time (60 to 180 seconds), it is possible to produce a pressed flower suitable for the material of the pressed flower picture.

  In addition, there is a flower recoloring step that restores the color of the flower that has changed color in the flower drying step to a state close to the primary color, and the flower recoloring step impregnates the lactic acid solution into the flower that has changed color in the flower drying step. The discolored flower is put back to a state close to the primary color by placing the cloth and pressing the heat transfer plate heated to a temperature lower than the predetermined temperature in the pressed flower drying step and heating it for a certain period of time. Can do.

That is, in the above-described flower drying process, if the pressed flower produced by drying raw flowers contains an anthocyanic red flower or the like, the red flower may turn dark purple. In this case, a cloth impregnated with lactic acid is placed on the discolored flower portion and heated at a temperature lower than a predetermined temperature in the flower drying process (for example, 70 to 80 ° C.) for a certain time (for example, several seconds). Thus, the color of the flower can be restored to the original red color.
[1. Flowering process]

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, with reference to FIG. 1, the flower formation process which forms a raw flower in substantially flat form is demonstrated. FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a flower formation process for forming a fresh flower in a substantially flat plate shape.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the raw flower 1 has branches, patterns, leaves, and flowers three-dimensionally spread in all directions, so it cannot be used for creating a pressed flower picture as it is. Therefore, a plurality of flowers 1 are alternately sandwiched between a plurality of newspaper sheets 2 made of hygroscopic newspaper, and a weight of 5 to 20 kg, for example, is placed on the top newspaper sheet 2 for a predetermined time. Leave (for example, 2 to 20 hours). Thereby, the flower 1 after leaving for a predetermined time is formed in a substantially flat plate shape. The newspaper sheet 2 is formed by folding all newspaper sheets into four, and stacking the four folded sheets up and down approximately three times.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, first, one newspaper sheet 2 is laid on the horizontal surface of the desk 20. Next, the fresh flower 1 is spread and placed on the newspaper sheet 2 so that leaves and flowers do not overlap. Then, a newspaper sheet 2 is placed on top of the flower 1, the flower 1 is placed again on the newspaper sheet 2, and a newspaper sheet 2 is placed again on the flower 1. Put. In this way, a plurality of flowers 1 are alternately sandwiched between a plurality of newspaper sheets 2 and stacked. Finally, a weight 3 of a predetermined weight (for example, 5 to 20 kg) having the same size as that of a newspaper sheet 2 such as a wooden board or a book (for example, a dictionary) is prepared and placed on the uppermost newspaper sheet 2. It is placed and left in this state for about 2 to 12 hours, for example.

By the above-mentioned flower formation process, the raw flower 1 is formed in a substantially flat plate shape. In the flower formation step, the flower 1 can be formed in a substantially flat shape so as to be a material for the pressed flower picture even if the flower 1 includes a thin tree branch or the like. In the flower forming step, the newspaper is used as the hygroscopic paper. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any paper excellent in hygroscopicity can be used as the hygroscopic paper.
[2. Drying acceleration process]

  After completing the flower formation process, take out the flower 1 sandwiched between the newspaper sheets 2, press the portion with a high moisture content in the flower 1 with a heavy load, and exude moisture from the flower 1 to the outside. A drying acceleration step is performed. Hereinafter, the process of promoting drying of fresh flowers will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a process of promoting drying of fresh flowers.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the tissue paper 4 as a hygroscopic thin film paper is spread on the horizontal surface of the desk 20, and the flower 1 which has completed the flower formation process is turned over and placed thereon. Then, the leaf veins, handle, stem, etc., of the flower 1 that appears to rise are strongly pressed by the rubber mallet 5 as a heavy object. As a result, the skin 1 of the flower 1 is torn, the moisture inside is oozed out, and is sucked out by the tissue paper 4. At this time, when the leaf of the flower is large and the moisture that has oozed out of the flower 1 is difficult to be absorbed by the tissue paper 4 laid under the flower 1, the tissue paper 4 that is separately prepared is used to remove the moisture from the flower 1. Moisture can be removed by wiping off the exuded moisture.

  In this way, in the drying promotion step, the portion of the flower 1 having a high water content (for example, the leaf vein, handle and stem of the leaf of the flower 1) is pressed with the rubber candy 5 which is a heavy object, and forced from the flower 1 to the outside. This is an operation of removing moisture contained in the flower 1 by absorbing the exuded moisture with the tissue paper 4 which is a hygroscopic thin film paper. As a result, the flower 1 is further formed on a flat plate, which is an effective drying promotion measure before the pressed flower 1 is produced by drying the flower 1 to be performed later. Furthermore, since the back surface of the flower 1 is pressed with the heavy rubber hook 5, the surface of the flower 1 that is touched by human eyes when the pressed picture is completed can be beautifully finished without damaging the surface of the flower.

In addition, in the drying promotion step, as a heavy object for pressing the leaf veins, handle, stems, etc. of the leaves of the flower 1, besides the rubber bowl 5, a wooden basket or a body of a milk bottle can be used. In other words, any material that has a certain amount of weight and that can selectively press a portion containing a lot of moisture without damaging the flower 1 may be used.
[3. Flower drying process]

  Below, the flower drying process which dries the flower 1 which finished the drying promotion process is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a flower drying process of the flower 1.

  In the flower drying process, as shown in FIG. 3A, a newspaper sheet 2 as a hygroscopic paper is laid on a pedestal 7 (for example, an ironing board), and a breathable mat having excellent breathability is provided on the newspaper sheet 2. Two urethane mats 6 (size: 10 × 250 × 345 mm) are laid on the newsprint sheet 2 in an overlapping manner. And the flower 1 which finished the drying promotion process is mounted on the urethane mat 6 with the surface facing up.

  This urethane mat 6 is obtained by improving the breathability of a general three-dimensional network urethane foam by a special treatment, and is used for an air filter of an air cleaner or the like. In this embodiment, two urethane mats 6 (size: 10 × 250 × 345 mm) are used in a stacked manner, but a single urethane mat 6 may be used as long as it has a sufficient thickness (for example, 20 mm or more). Furthermore, not only the urethane mat 6, but a sponge mat or the like may be used as long as the mat has excellent air permeability.

  And as shown in FIG.3 (b), on the heat-transfer surface 8a of the iron 8 heated to predetermined temperature (for example, 110 degreeC among 100-140 degreeC) from the top of the flower 1, it is fixed time (60- The surface of the flower 1 is pressed and heated for 180 seconds (for example, about 90 seconds). As a result, the moisture contained in the flower 1 evaporates from the back surface of the flower 1 to become water vapor, passes through the urethane mat 6 having good air permeability, and the newspaper sheet 2 as a hygroscopic paper laid underneath. To be absorbed.

  In the present embodiment, the iron 8 provided with the heat transfer surface 8a capable of maintaining a constant temperature is used as a heating device. However, the heating device for drying the flowers 1 is not limited to the iron 8 and is constant. What is necessary is just a heating apparatus which has a heat exchanger plate which can hold | maintain temperature.

  As described above, the flower 1 can be completely dried by pressing the surface of the flower 1 at a predetermined temperature (for example, 110 ° C.) for a certain time (for example, about 90 seconds). When the water content is high, the semi-dry state (for example, a drying rate of 70% to 80%) may occur. Even in this case, it can be used as a material for a pressed flower picture. The details will be described in a pressed flower sealing step (see FIG. 6), which will be described later. When the pressed flower picture is completed, a desiccant 15 and an oxygen scavenger 16 are also enclosed in the pressed flower picture. The drying proceeds in the state of a pressed flower.

  Further, when the surface of the flower 1 is larger than the heat transfer surface 8a of the iron 8, the heating temperature of the heat transfer surface 8a is adjusted to 130 ° C., and the heat transfer surface 8a is slid and pressed over the entire surface of the flower 1. Thereby, the fall of the surface temperature of the flower 1 which the heat-transfer surface 8a does not contact | connect while moving the heat-transfer surface 8a can be prevented.

  Further, by pressing the surface of the flower 1 with the heat transfer surface 8a of the iron 8 heated to a high temperature (110 ° C. or 130 ° C.), the flower 1 that is heated to rise in temperature changes the flower 1 to black or brown. The temperature of the enzyme active region (for example, 60 ° C. to 80 ° C.) can be passed instantaneously. Thereby, the discoloration of the flower 1 by the activated enzyme which arises by passing slowly the temperature (for example, 60 to 80 degreeC) of an enzyme active area | region can be prevented. Furthermore, since the enzyme contained in the flower 1 can be killed by heating with the iron 8 at a high temperature (110 ° C. or 130 ° C.), a dry pressed flower containing no enzyme can be produced.

  In addition, by pressing and heating the surface of the flower 1 with the heat transfer surface 8a of the iron 8, the generation of water vapor from the surface of the flower 1 is suppressed, and the water vapor generated from the back surface of the flower 1 It passes and is absorbed by the newspaper sheet 2. In this way, by suppressing the evaporation of moisture from the surface of the flower 1, the surface of the flower can be prevented from being uneven, and the surface can be made smooth, and the surface is transparent and close to a raw flower. Dry pressed flowers can be produced.

  Further, by pressing the surface of the flower 1 at a predetermined temperature (for example, 110 ° C.) for a certain time (for example, about 90 seconds), the chlorophyll contained in the leaves of the flower 1 is thermally denatured and changes to a bright green color. An effect is obtained. As described above, the surface of the flower 1 dried by pressing and heating the surface of the flower 1 is less likely to cause discoloration such as fading due to change over time when the flower 1 is used as a material for the flower painting. .

  Furthermore, it has been difficult to completely dehydrate moisture existing in the capillaries at the deepest part of the flower 1 by conventional drying with warm air (for example, normal temperature to 40 ° C.). As a result, when a pressed flower picture is produced using the flower 1 with moisture remaining as the material, the pressed flower picture may change in color with time. That is, the water | moisture content which remained in the capillary of the deepest part of the flower 1 caused the discoloration by a time-dependent change of a pressed flower picture. However, in the flower drying process of the present embodiment, the flower 1 is dried by pressing and heating the surface of the flower 1 with the iron 8 having a high temperature (110 ° C. or 130 ° C.). The water present in the capillary can be dehydrated. For this reason, the press flower picture produced using the flower 1 dried by the flower drying process in this embodiment as a raw material can prevent discoloration by a time-dependent change.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the surface of the flower 1 is pressed and heated for a certain period (60 to 180 seconds) with the heat transfer surface 8a of the iron 8 heated to a predetermined temperature (100 to 140 ° C.). To dry the flower 1. Thereby, the water | moisture content in the deep part of the structure | tissue of the flower 1 which cannot be implement | achieved by the drying by the conventional warm air can be evaporated, and an enzyme etc. can be killed in connection with it. For this reason, when used as a material for a pressed flower picture, the state of a colorful pressed flower picture can be maintained for a long time.

  Here, when the color of the flower 1 is an anthocyanic red color by heating with the iron 8 at a predetermined temperature (for example, approximately 110 ° C.), the color of the flower may change to dark purple. In that case, a heat-transfer surface 8a of the iron 8 heated to about 70 to 80 ° C. is placed on a discolored flower with a cloth impregnated with a multicolor solution containing lactic acid in a predetermined composition (about 10%). If pressed for several seconds, the original red color can be duplicated. This red flower color is called red flower processing.

  Further, even when heating with the same iron 8, if the color of the flower constituting the flower 1 is white, the color of the flower may become translucent. This is because the color of the white flower only appears white because the water is in an emulsion, not a white pigment. For this reason, when the water is evaporated, the color of the flower becomes translucent. In this case, it is only necessary to spray the white paint on the back of the flower to make the original white color. This double color of white flower is called white flower processing.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when the color of the flower which comprises the flower 1 changes in the flower drying process by the heating of the iron 8, the multicolor operation | work which returns the color of the changed flower to an original color is performed. Is called.

As described above, when the above-described flower formation process, drying acceleration process, and flower drying process are completed, dried pressed flowers can be produced from the raw flower 1. In the following description, since the flower 1 and the pressed flower are essentially the same, they will be described as the pressed flower 1 with the same reference numerals.
[4. Pressed flower placement process]

  Hereinafter, production of a pressed flower picture using the pressed flower 1 manufactured by the pressed flower manufacturing means will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view for explaining the structure of a pressed picture mount on which the pressed flower 1 is arranged. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the arrangement of the pressed flowers 1 on the pressed picture mount.

  A canvas 9 used as a pressed picture board for arranging the pressed flowers 1 is configured as shown in FIG. That is, the canvas 9 is formed by stacking two non-woven fabrics 9b (thickness: 2 mm) having a cushioning property obtained by lightly compressing short paper fibers excellent in air permeability and winding the surface with a finely woven cloth 9c. ing. As a result, the surface of the canvas 9 on which the pressed flowers 1 are arranged is upholstered by the finely woven cloth 9c.

  In addition, in this embodiment, although the nonwoven fabric 9b which has cushioning properties is piled up and the canvas 9 is comprised, when the thickness of the nonwoven fabric 9b is sufficient thickness (for example, 5 mm or more), the nonwoven fabric 9b is 1 Alternatively, when the pressed flower 1 is thick, two or more non-woven fabrics 9b may be used.

  First, using the canvas 9 having the above-described configuration, as shown in FIG. 5A, the wetted flower arrangement surface 9a of the canvas 9 has water content as porous fine particles before the arrangement of the flower 1. Talc 10 (Talc: talc) containing magnesium silicate is applied to the entire surface. The particle size of the talc 10 powder as the porous fine particles is about 5 to 20 μm. Since the talc 10 is a fine-grained powder, the talc 10 is evenly applied to the entire pressed flower arrangement surface 9 a of the canvas 9 by the sponge 12.

  The reason why the powder of the talc 10 is applied to the flower arrangement surface 9a of the canvas 9 is to suppress the change over time of the flower 1 that occurs when the completed flower painting picture is put in a finishing frame or the like. That is, by applying with the powder of talc 10, the pressed flower 1 does not change color for a long time, resulting in a significant increase in its commercial value. This is because the talc 10 adsorbs and removes ethylene gas, which is a kind of plant aging promoting gas generated from the pressed flower 1.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5B, the white powder of talc 10 applied to the pressed flower arrangement surface 9 a is colored with the pigment 11. The pigment 11 is colored with a sponge 12 with a powdery pigment 11 similar to the talc 10 on an arbitrary position or the entire surface of the flower arrangement surface 9a so that the flower 1 arranged on the flower arrangement surface 9a is reflected. To do. Further, since the pressed flower arrangement surface 9a is a finely woven cloth 9c, the pressed flower arrangement surface 9a can be colored using a pastel 12a (the pigment 11 solidified with a water-soluble binder). In addition, by applying the powder of talc 10 in advance to the entire pressed flower arrangement surface 9a of the canvas 9 before coloring with the pigment 11, there is an effect that it is easy to perform arbitrary coloring with the pigment 11.

Finally, as shown in FIG. 5C, the pressed flower 1 is arranged on the pressed flower arrangement surface 9a of the canvas 9 with good composition. In this manner, by arranging the pressed flower 1 on the cushioned canvas 9, even when the pressed flower 1 is composed of a tree branch or a thick flower, in the pressed flower sealing step (see FIG. 6) described later, a transparent hard It is possible to prevent the pressed flower 1 fixed by the board 13 and the pressed flower arrangement surface 9a of the canvas 9 from being damaged.
[5. Pressed flower sealing process]

  When the arrangement of the flower 1 on the flower arrangement surface 9a of the canvas 9 is completed by the flower arrangement process, the flower sealing process for sealing the flower 1 arranged on the canvas 9 is performed. Hereinafter, the pressed flower sealing step will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the pressed flower sealing step.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the arrangement of the flower arrangement 1 on the flower arrangement surface 9 a is finished, the desiccant 15 and the oxygen scavenger 16 are brought into contact with the back surface of the flower arrangement surface 9 a of the canvas 9. It is sandwiched between the transparent hard plate 13 and the aluminum foil 14 which is a light shielding film.

  That is, the flower arrangement surface 9a of the flower 1 of the canvas 9 is covered with the transparent hard plate 13, and the back surface of the flower arrangement surface 9a of the canvas 9 is brought into contact with the desiccant 15 and the oxygen scavenger 16 so as to block the light-shielding film. It is covered with the aluminum foil 14 which is. Then, the transparent hard plate 13 and the peripheral edge 17 of the aluminum foil 14 are bonded with an adhesive (for example, silicon), and the internal air is sucked by the suction pump 18 from the suction port 18 a which is a part of the peripheral edge 17.

  The suction by the suction pump 18 is performed until the pressed flower 1 arranged on the pressed flower arrangement surface 9a of the canvas 9 is pressed and fixed between the transparent hard plate 13 and the pressed flower arrangement surface 9a of the canvas 9, and then the internal air is discharged. By adhering the suction port 18a with silicon which is an adhesive, the pressed flower 1 arranged on the pressed flower arrangement surface 9a of the canvas 9 together with the desiccant 15 and the oxygen absorber 16 arranged on the back surface of the pressed flower arranged surface 9a. The transparent hard plate 13 and the aluminum foil 14 are sealed. Note that even if a small amount of air remains inside after sealing, oxygen is removed by the action of the oxygen scavenger 16 enclosed at the same time, so that it can be finally brought into an oxygen-free state after sealing.

  Thus, when the transparent hard plate 13 and the peripheral edge 17 of the aluminum foil 14 are bonded, by using silicon as an adhesive, the transparent hard plate 13 and the peripheral edge 17 of the aluminum foil 14 are semi-permanently bonded. The inside can be cut off from the outside and kept sealed.

  The desiccant 15 in contact with the back side of the canvas 9 distributes anhydrous calcium chloride (powder) and talc 10 and the like in a predetermined distribution (for example, anhydrous calcium chloride: talc 10 = 50%: 50%). It is a mixture mixed with. And it fills with the envelope-shaped bag made from the nonwoven fabric which allows only water vapor | steam not to pass through.

  The reason why the desiccant 15 is a mixture of anhydrous calcium chloride and talc 10 is to make the bagging operation smooth as above, and the anhydrous calcium chloride alone is difficult to work because of its hygroscopicity and due to its hygroscopicity. . In general, the desiccant 15 composed of a mixture of anhydrous calcium chloride (powder) and talc 10 or the like is referred to as a sheet desiccant.

  By the above-mentioned pressed flower sealing step, the end of drying of the pressed flower 1 that is likely to be discolored or discolored can be gradually dried in an oxygen-free state, so that discoloration or fading of the pressed flower 1 can be reduced as much as possible. As a result, it is possible to produce a pressed picture that retains the primary color of the pressed flower 1 as vividly as possible, and to maintain the original color of the collected color for a long period of time.

  When the sealing process is completed, the pressed flower picture 30 shown in FIG. 7 is completed. Thereafter, the completed pressed flower picture 30 is displayed in a frame or the like, for example.

  As described above, according to the method for producing a pressed flower picture in the present embodiment, a pressed flower picture can be directly produced from a raw flower and flower through a series of work steps. In addition, the labor and time required to produce a pressed flower picture can be significantly reduced. In particular, in the flower drying process, the surface of the flower 1 is pressed by the high-temperature (110 ° C. or 130 ° C.) iron 8 and heated to dry the flower 1. It is possible to produce a beautiful pressed flower picture that is hard to wake up and has a transparent primary surface and vibrant primary colors.

As mentioned above, although one embodiment of the present invention was described in detail based on a drawing, these are illustrations and implement the present invention in other forms which carried out various modification and improvement based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art. Is possible.
