Practical design techniques, list of flowers that press well, cultivating a pressing garden and a wealth of other information. This book would be useful for a beginner or advanced pressed flower designer; and a treasure for anyone who loves Victoriana. 90 pages hardcover

I purchased this book years ago when it came with a little bamboo flower press. I lost it after a few moves and though I had already made several pictures with pressed flowers, I jumped at the chance to buy this book when I found it on Amazon. It was signed by the author and though it didn't come with a press, I knew I could make do with books and a homemeade press. This book is a great inspiration for creating your own designs and gives a lot of good, solid practical advice. It's easy to follow, whimsical, and fun! I know there are other books out there, but this is definitely my favorite!

This is one of the best books on pressed flowers I've seen. It's given me many ideas and I'm really impressed with it.
