Trinh made the brave decision to leave her previous well-paying job in search of happiness. She is now focused on conducting research on the art of creating still life behind glass.
Trinh dedicated six months to honing her mastery of the process, encompassing the delicate art of drying fresh flowers, skillfully developing hues, and creating her own captivating displays.
Trinh initially dedicated two to three days to process a batch of dried flowers and leaves. However, she eventually opted to outsource this task to foreign suppliers as a means of lightening her workload.
To create a visually pleasing pressed flower display, follow these simple steps:
1. Begin by meticulously cleaning the frame to ensure a pristine base.
2. Carefully arrange the flowers and leaves in a visually appealing pattern within the frame.
3. Preserve the delicate arrangement by enclosing it between two layers of high-quality glass.
4. Finally, give the display a finishing touch by gently dusting off any particles that may have settled.
Trinh emphasized the importance of thorough cleaning and careful placement in dry areas for all her works due to their susceptibility to smudging from fingerprints.
“I have come to a point where I aspire to establish my own business rather than work for someone else,” stated Trinh.
“It was initially challenging to create and sell artworks.”
“The primary target audience for these products are young customers and interior designers.”
She is currently in the process of finalizing the necessary procedures to export her products to international markets that have a high demand for handmade artworks.
