ABSTRACT:
A novel method for producing an article such as a postcard, bookmark or label including a press-dried plant such as a flower is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of interposing a picked plant between two flexible sheets impregnated with a desiccating agent or between one of the flexible sheets and a cushioning sheet; drying the plant under a pressure in a drying atmosphere; hermetically storing the dried plant in a bag of a gas barrier material, the bag containing a desiccating agent and an oxygen absorbing agent; removing the plant from the bag shortly before producing the article carrying the press-dried plant; placing the plant on a surface of a substrate, and; forming a transparent or translucent overlayer over the plant so that air does not remain between the overlayer and the surface of the substrate.
The article produced according to the present invention can maintain a color or pattern of the press-dried plant in a state similar to that of a living plant without discoloration, for a long period of time.
