With an emphasis on simplicity, this is an introduction to the art of collage using preserved plant material. All that is needed is access to a garden or the countryside; no previous skills are necessary. Introductory chapters explain the types of plant material which are suitable, and when and how the varied decorative designs can be created from flowers, leaves, cones and seeds. There are projects and topics including: simple flat collage bookmark;raised collage designs; seed patterns; gilded plant materials; embroidery effects; fantasies; framing; greetings and Christms cards; basket weave boxes and Church ornaments.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
These books are notable for the beauty and creativity of the projects?a prime consideration when selecting dried-flower books. Le Bailey has many small projects for cards, bookmarks, and framed items such as pendants and paperweights. An annotated list of plants used in the projects is included. Carver's book has projects using the unusual technique of gluing natural materials to fabric in designs reminiscent of fine embroidery. Although the work is painstaking in its detail, the effect is stunning. Both books are full of inspirational ideas for the experienced dried-flower crafter.
