Customer Reviews

more of a flower arrangement book than techniques of drying

I'm new to flower drying so there may be others that are better (which I'm still looking for) but this book has lots of neat ideas. There's a section on gathering and preserving flowers that talks a little about growing your own plants and then there's literally just one page on air-drying, one page on pressing and 2-3 pages on using silica gel. I was actually hoping for more details on drying techniques. The rest of the book (80%) is really ideas for arrangements. It does have beautiful pictures and indeed, they are inspirational but also a bit intimidating for a beginner.
