For centuries artists of every country have sought to capture the natural perfection and brilliance of flowers in unfading forms - on canvas, with water color, oil or acrylic, as well as paper, tissue, gauze, wax and cotton.
You can learn how to make your own flowers from rayon or silk, or any type of fabric following the basic techniques we offer you in this book.
The tools and techniques are simple. No special skills are required, only an appreciation of nature and an interest in preserving spring's loveliest blooms.
Step-by-step instructions, diagrams and photos for each flower pictured make it possible for you to create surprisingly natural-looking bouquets for your home at a fraction of what it would cost to buy them.
The detail and variety possible with making silk flowers may encourage a continuing interest in this fine craft.
