Product Description

The natural world offers a rich and endless variety of materials for the craftsperson to use, including dried grasses, flowers, mosses, pine cones, leaves, twigs, nuts, spices, chilies, fungi and even shells. Whatever the occasion or idea, The Complete Guide to Flower Arranging will help you create the most stunning and inspirational displays. Moving far beyond the standard dried flower arrangement, this imaginative book presents a veritable harvest of innovative ideas. From the simplest lavender - and rosebud-filled terra-cotta pot to breathtaking structures of lichen, leaves and twigs; from an elegant sheaf of wheat and flowers bound with a raffia bow to a dazzling Christmas garland of nuts and winter foliage; from summery swags and opulent hangings to avant-garde moss globes and leaf pyramids, the projects in these pages will delight both traditional and contemporary tastes and are suitable for crafters of ever level of ability. Brimming with more than five hundred evocative, specially commissioned color photographs, this unique book is also highly practical, with over one hundred projects explained clearly with step-by-step instruction and visual examples, making even the most complex-seeming creations achievable.
