Synopsis

In this inspirational keepsake, Georgeanne Brennan and Kathryn Kleinman present an original approach to preserving and arranging flowers. Starting with Victorian traditions and techniques used to create wreathes, table decorations, wall hangings, picture frames, and other flower assortments, the authors move on to more recent techniques, describing waxing, sugaring, air drying, freezing, pressing, and using silver sand and silica. Tips and advice are complemented with superb color photographs.
