This book is an in-depth look at drying, pressing and making pot pourri. Sometimes the author is a little too "in-depth," giving you more information than is needed. Once the reader wades through all the extras, she will uncover the necessary information needed to create some wonderful dried floral items. The author writes about growing flowers for drying, the drying process, creating dried flower arrangements and other crafts involving dried flowers. The next section involves pressing flowers and crafts to create with pressed flowers. The pot pourri section explains the difference between scented and unscented potpourri and gives examples of flowers needed for each. The author also delves into herbs. Crafts include sachets, herb pillows and seasonal potpourri. I found the book to be interesting. I like the way the author lists the supplies you will need for each project. All in all it was a great resource. You could tell the author loves flowers and wants to spread that joy to others. |
