Description

This will be the first book of its kind to deal specifically with faux floral arrangements in glass containers. The transparent element creates special challenges for the crafter/designer. Parts of the flowers and foliage that would be hidden in an opaque container will be exposed, so many traditional floral arranging methods don’t work. Ardith shows that the transparent nature of glass is really an opportunity to be creative and have fun. Materials like colored floral foam and “artificial water” can be used to greater advantage in glass containers. There are many innovative ways of shaping the wire stems of faux flowers, building support structures, and using the newest materials on the market.

Crafters love today's amazingly realistic silk flowers and dried florals; and the project they make most often is the wreath. Wreaths and Wall Flowers presents 25 extraordinary yet easy wreaths and other wall decorations bursting with color and new ways to use the latest floral materials. Master floral designer Ardith Beveridge has created wreaths that will be the focal point of any room. In a variety of shapes and sizes, the wreaths are styled for each season and a range of popular decors. Ardith's "wall flowers" are even more original, from a floral monogram to a floralscape on canvas. Each wall flower uses a creative container or base, such as a picture frame, shadow box, mirror, wall vase, even garden fencing. Every project has clear, step-by-step instructions with how-to photographs, for professional results even with no floral experience. These fabulous wreaths and decorations will bring seasonal color and beauty to any wall of the home.
