In Wild in the Garden I wanted to concentrate on the background players so to speak, to demonstrate that although a great asset, you do not need to rely on large leaves and foliage to support an arrangement. With very few cutters - and most likely ones you will already have - together with a little creativity the subjects we often pass over can become the star attractions and give a whole new dimension to a display.
• Beautiful photographs throughout
• Details of cutters and colours to guide you together with full sized templates
• More tips and techniques to develop your skills
• Step by step written instruction supported with photographs at each stage
Blooming Lovely! Is based on the Teaching Collection. Twelve beautifully illustrated and photographed subjects, including Alstromeria, Foxglove, Wild Roses and Snowdrops all brought together in one book to guide you further on to develop and expand your skills in the craft of Cold Porcelain and Sugar Flowers.
Filled with photographs and suggestions of how to display and arrange your flowers, plus direction on how to apply the techniques to other flowers, this is all compiled into another easy to follow and informative book.
