How to create original flowers, covering the design process itself--from inspiration to final design--and providing information on the materials used and step-by-step demonstrations of a whole range of techniques. Sections explaining skills such as dyeing, monoprinting, block printing, appliquÔe, foiling, photo-transfer printing, piecing, and stitching are followed by five step-by-step projects, including wall hangings, a needle case, a pincushion, and a cushion cover. Very much aimed at the contemporary textile artist, this beautiful book is designed to inspire and encourage new ideas and experimentation.
