This review is from: Dried Flowers: Home Decorating Workbooks with 20 Step-By-Step Projects on Fold-Out Pages (Spiral-bound)

This is a wonderful book for anyone seeking to create beautiful & unique dried flower displays with ease. It conveniently arranges the 20 different flower displays by season. The color photos of the arrangements are inspiring.

Each grouping includes a complete materials list, color photo & helpful advice on its use. Step-by-step instructions accompanied by color illustrations follow on a fold-out page to guide you seamlessly through the arrangement process.

My favorite uses bundles of dried yellow roses in a tree to create a cloud effect. I also enjoyed the purple sphagnum moss twisted into a spiral & a glass vase filled with dried citrus fruit.

I found the discussion of containers very helpful. The basic drying techniques, arrangement advice & maintenance tips were also of great help. A plant directory & a suppliers list are nice bonuses.
