Creating designs from nature!

The main concept here is for a beautiful creations that work well indoors or outdoors. Creations from nature, natural materials. What makes this compilation of arrangements attractive is the muted tones, the subtle colors and textures. A certain color scheme is evident in this book with stunning designs. You will learn how to make your designs, the correct tools and materials as the colorful pictures are very helpful. An interesting idea taught here is to create arches, swags and garlands, for difficult areas, and by that, the author has decorated a fence post with a swag, or try a swag over the slats of a wooden chair, a wooden bench, anywhere that you can embellish an area. Branches, vines and driftwood designs serve as a great enhancement. Also featured are instructions for topiaries, wreaths, centerpieces, etc. These steps are easy to follow with enough pictures for guidance. The full-page color designs are impressive. MzRizz
