Clarkesville native crafts flowers into works of art
0720petals1
Sarah Samsel began making pressed-flower cards when she was 10 and now has a building on the John and Nancy Kollock property called Sarah’s Lavender Cottage. In addition to pressed flower art she also makes intricate cornhusk dolls.
Sarah Samsel sat near the window inside her small cottage and used scissors to snip small red petals into delicate shapes. She dabbed glue to the petal pieces and gingerly placed them on her art work. Where other artists use paint and brushes, Samsel uses plants, scissors and Elmer’s glue.
