À propos de ce produit

A rose is a rose. But is it really? Take a closer look. Faux flowers have never looked so good, and today they're more popular than ever. Multihued hydrangeas, gossamer poppies, slender lilies, and hundreds of other varieties are widely available and incredibly lifelike. In this beautifully illustrated guide, floral designer Richard Kollath and writer Ed McCann demonstrate how easy it is to use faux flowers to add lasting, blooming color to every room of the house. A collection of anemones in tiny glass bottles cheers up a sunny windowsill. A lush arrangement of ranunculus in a ceramic cachepot brightens a corner nook, and a table arrangement of red hibiscus blossoms and candles sets an exotic mood for a dinner party. These are just a few of the more than 100 simple ideas in Faux Flowers. With tips on designing, constructing, and displaying the arrangements, full-color photographs, unique container ideas, and an extensive suppliers list, Faux Flowers is the ultimate guide to creating beautiful arrangements that last.

Reviews
Even if your garden won't yield another fresh bouquet this year, you can continue to decorate your home - or dress your holiday table - with lively floral arrangements. In their new book, Faux Flowers , Country Living Contributing Editors Richard Kollath and Ed McCann share their secrets for creating silk flower arrangements that fool the eye, particularly by mimicking nature's imperfections. "Stems and petals that are perfectly, uniformly smoothed, opened, and otherwise tweaked look unnatural," they write. In the arrangement shown here, Kollath manipulated the tulip petals so that some are closed and others fully open. Other tricks include trimming leaves and petals with clippers to create asymmetry and mixing in dried natural materials like yarrow, millet, or wheat into a silk arrangement for a more organic touch. - Country Living
