Any Tips for Pressing Encased Florals?
I LOVE encased florals, but also love the versatility of a pressed bead. Does anyone have any tips for pressing encased florals but still retaining the depth in the flowers and not overly distorting them?

I press in stages. 1st press the base then press in stages throughout the process.

Yes, press the bead with every layer and they won't look too flattened in the end.

other than that...
Start small, in the shape of the press, and add glass in the general shape of the press.
