Preserving fresh flowers for pendants

[debbeads]

Has anyone ever preserved fresh flowers and used in jewelry?  For instance, a pansy used as a pendant.  How is this done?  Thanks

Hi, debbeads,

Looks like it took a while for anyone to find an answer!  

Here is a link to a simple how-to on making pressed-flower pendants.

Apparently they dry the flower in silica crystals first.

Hope this helps!

My sister doing that . she using some epoxy resin to preserve flowers.

Good idea, Sheryll, I'm sure the resin jewelry making supplies we sell can be used for this sort of thing

I never thought preserving flowers can be used as a pendant. 
Thanks for posting the link, I'll try to read and learn the techniques.
