Customer Reviews

Great resource

I ordered this book based on review I read on-line, and it's just as good as promised. I got the book for help on pressing flowers - and the information is great. The author tells how to construct a press and how long the process will take. The author also goes on to suggest ways to frame and display your pressed flowers. The rest of the book includes sections on drying flowers, making potpourri, making fancy bows, and any other floral idea you might have. The book is only 75 pages, but coming in at a full 8.5x11 inches, there's a lot of content. Here's the basic table of contents: Elements & Principles of Design Traditional Designs Oriental Flower Arranging Japanese Arrangements Contemporary Trends Fresh flowers Wreaths, swags, Garlands Flowers to wear Flowers and food Dried Flowers Dried Arrangements Pressed Flowers Potpourri Silk flowers Eight basic designs Table arrangements Wreaths Ribbons and Bow Ribbon Widths
