GORGEOUS! June 8, 2010 Allison Quinnell (Minneapolis, MN) I bought this book for my step mom for her birthday, and before wrapping it I looked through the entire thing. I wanted to keep it for myself! The content is up-to-date and the step-by-step instrections are very clear. I loved how relevant and trend right the featured arrangements were.
Wonderfully detailed step-by-step instructions May 18, 2010 A reader (Honolulu, HI USA) This book provides very detailed step-by-step instructions for many different styles of flower arrangements. I was very surprised to find that all the instructors/designers generously shared their personal techniques and their interpretations of natural beauty of plant and flower materials. Reviewers who found this book not to be very helpful please read more carefully cover-to-cover. I assure you will learn some new and invaluable lessons.
Pretty pictures, but not much more March 23, 2010 No Ordinary Tomato (New Jersey, the Garden State) Eileen Johnson's "The Art of Floral Arranging" is a beautiful book, but definitely not a "how to" guide. I purchased it expecting to see basic floral design techniques that I could use to make gifts and arrangements for my house. But while the photos are gorgeous, the book does not feature the kind of step by step instruction that I'd hoped for. If you want pretty pictures, "The Art of Floral Arranging" is a good choice. But if you're looking for the "how-to's" of flower design, try your local craft store or community college instead!
Gorgeous! March 17, 2010 RK This book is beautiful and her school is fabulous. Treat yourself to both! And buy lots of flowers when you create an arrangement...it's the only way to have a lush look, even when the final product is small.
NICE BOOK October 23, 2009 btrflylvr Exactly what I was looking for and more.
Arrived as described, and in even better condition! BEAUTIFUL book!
I was very happy with the product!!!!
