Quest For The Black Rose, The

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 12:15:40 +0200

Botanists are on the case, trying to solve the mystery of the black rose: Does it exist? Has it ever? It seems that the only solid fact surrounding this flower is that people have been searching for it for centuries--and are still searching today. The first references to extremely dark red roses were made in early botanist literature, and at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century, drawings of such roses were widely circulated. And, according to a spokesman of the Flowers and Plants Association, "Black flowers were beloved of the art nouveau designers at the previous turn of the century. Victorians and Edwardians at the cutting edge of fashion collected them, going to great lengths to track down exotic species." Today, the desire for unique blooms continues, prompting environmental consultant James Reynolds to write in March 2005: "Those looking for a riot of color at this year's flower shows are in for disappointment: Black is back and this time it is set to take a hold over the nation's gardens. Just as floral prints have been banished from the house in favor of muted tones and minimalism, so the same is set to happen in our gardens and parks, with black flowers now the must-have item." Through extensive and detailed research, The Quest for the Black Rose presents the complete story of the elusive flower--from the oldest historical drawings up to the most recent developments. This publication, with its stunning photography, is sure to be treasured by any rose lover . . . or anyone intrigued by a good mystery.

Flower Arrangement with a Japanese Touch

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 12:16:52 +0200

INTRODUCTION
Since ancient times, flowers have held a special place in people's hearts, and have been used to provide fitting decoration to various occasions.
In this book, I have tried to stay true to this essence, while emphasizing the simplicity, universality, and flexibility of both western- and Japanese-style flower arrangement.
Typically, flower arrangement focuses on attaining both harmony in color and luxuriance in shape. To these characteristics, I would like to add respect for both the natural beauty of flora such as that found in the wild, and the maximum expression of space by minimal use of materials. In other words, my goal is to adopt the principles of ikebana that succinctly convey the desired mood.
Diverging from convention, I enjoyed expressing myself by combining easy-to-find containers and other modern materials to maintain shape, keeping the contemporary living space in mind.
I have included step-by-step instructions, accompanied by detailed pictures and illustrations, as well as helpful ideas to make arranging easy-to-understand for anyone from beginner to expert. I will introduce the fundamental shapes, and show you example arrangements in which these shapes are used.
I hope that by enjoying your time arranging, you can add a degree of richness to your well-being, and use the seasonal events in your life as an opportunity to express yourself in flowers.

Featuring more than fifty floral "recipes." All illustrated with brilliant full-color photographs by Rob Gray, Harvesting, Preserving & Arranging Dried Flowers is the most comprehensive, contemporary, and practical book on the subject. By mixing such popular favorites as carnations and marigolds with more exotic flora like cattails and eucalyptus leaves, and by incorporating a wide range of organic elements--fruits, grasses and weeds, seasonal ornaments, even found objects--Harvesting, Preserving & Arranging Dried Flowers celebrates the full extent of nature's bounty.

Drawing from her twenty-plus years of expertise in the art and craft of drying flowers, using the most up-to-date methods--including microwaving and glycerinization--and aided by an assortment of household products, Cathy Miller shows readers how to create fabulous arrangements that last for years. The preserved roses, delphiniums, peonies, and other blooms that beckon from the pages of Harvesting, Preserving & Arranging Dried Flowers look as if they were just plucked from the soil.

How to Make Paper Flowers and Party Decorations

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 12:15:11 +0200

Making artificial flowers is an old and fascinating handcraft. Our great grandmothers made them from scraps of silk and other materials. But it took the development of crepe paper to turn flower making into the art it is today. Now paper flowers are so real looking that we stop to smell them. Once you've had the thrill of turning bits of paper into pretty flowers, you'll find it intriguing as a hobby. There's a touch of magic in seeing paper blossom into flowers under your own fingers. Arranging flowers will be more interesting, too, because artificial flowers are easily arranged in various ways. It is fun to copy the arrangements shown in magazines and books, and to express your own personality by creating your own arrangements.

Simple Flowers: Arrangements and Floral Accents for the Home

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:14:37 +0200

Simple Flowers offers a new take on artful arrangements for the home. With easy-to-follow ideas, Ms. Hayakawa makes intriguing suggestions for enlivening nearly every corner of the home--bedroom, bath, kitchen, living room, and dining area--then works her magic in the neglected nooks, from hearth to entry, side table to stairs.

Her ideas are fresh and engaging, and always simple. For the best results, Hayakawa encourages the reader to consider not only store-bought flowers but wildflowers and clippings from all parts of the yard. Grasses, vines, and foliage find places in her floral ideas, invigorating even the most elementary arrangement.

The scope of Hayakawa's ideas draws nourishment from her dual training in Japanese ikebana and European flower traditions. From continental floral design, she simplifies the idea of voluminous, overwhelming displays with startling results. From the East, she introduces the idea of "empty space," a concept that acknowledges the value of "holes," or breathing room, in an arrangement. She also supports the Eastern belief of cherishing each cutting for its distinctive character rather than seeking out the perfect flower every time.

The secret to success, Hayakawa says, is flexibility and openness. Look for new ways to display flowers, and new containers to hold them. Throughout the book, Hayakawa sets out simple yet wise rules--invaluable advice that will serve you well in each setting, and lead you to develop your own style for arranging flowers in a simple yet artistic way.

Features * Fresh thoughts for decorating every room
* New ideas for holidays and special occasions
* Tips on developing your flower arranging talents
* Easy-to-follow instructions
* New ways to use everyday household items as flower vases
* Each arrangement shown in a stetched-over b/w photo and in full color
