Assemble the subject from flattened leaves, petals and thin plant fragments, using their natural shapes, veins and overlapping edges as the image vocabulary while keeping the material dry and pressed. Big shapes only: silhouette, pose, proportions, large color areas. Below fingertip scale use only pressed leaves, petals and veins; translate every visible surface into pressed plant fragments. Eyes and nose, where present, are petal-and-leaf shapes with one leaf-made highlight. Dry pressed-plant texture visible everywhere. No photographic detail, photographic patches or fresh-plant gloss.
Square 1:1 frame. A round wreath of flattened pink cosmos, blue forget-me-nots, ferns, daisies and fine grasses forming a ring with a wide open centre. The centre of the frame is a large open area that is fully transparent too, with no lettering anywhere.
Isolated on a fully transparent background: alpha = 0 everywhere outside the artwork, not white, not coloured, no checkerboard pattern, a real alpha channel. The whole artwork sits fully inside the canvas with a clear margin of transparency on every side, its outer rim fully transparent and nothing cropped by the frame. It floats with no cast shadow.
