Sage-hour: a 5‑minute calm practice
Slow down before you create. Breathe, name three textures, and plan your labels. A tiny ritual that improves results.
What you will master
- Plant pressing setups for different morphologies — grasses, composites, succulents, and woody stems.
- Archival mounting choices: hinges, corners, reversible adhesives, and label substrates.
- Composition guidelines using visual weighting, negative space, and stable grids.
- Ethical fieldwork: permits, vouchers, GPS notes, and habitat impact minimization.
- Digital workflows: scanning, color calibration, metadata fields, and controlled vocabularies.
