I have waaay too many arts and crafts projects now (take a peek at my website--it's been up just over a month but pretty much took a lifetime to develop), but I am suddenly getting quite interested in creating really pretty couture-style flowers (probably mainly roses), of different fabrics, as accessories for some different designs. I looked up some books, and the ones by Helen Gibb seemed very interesting. One was "The Secret of Fashioning Ribbon Flowers". They looked quite stunning, but I am not only interested in using ribbon. I'd like to use leftover organza, silk, and other pretty fabric remants. I found some reduced rates for this and her other books on the web, but I am hoping to get some recommendations on which you think might be the best reference book for me to purchase. I'd appreciate all suggestions. Many thanks, Amy http://www.thewearwithall.com |
