Very informative book and I am looking forward to trying my hand at making many of them. I bought it because I am particularly interested in the fabric flowers to use in my millinery work. The silk flowers you buy at the craft stores generally look a little cheap if you try to use them for trimming. The plastic parts really bring down the aesthetic and value. Overall, I think that any knowledge and good information one can in this area is important. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in flower construction.
