We were over the Moon to receive this from our friend Sakul Intakul mostly because it shows another design side of him ... his former books , Tropical Colours especially , Modern Thai Living and Colour Your Moods sent a refreshing shot of life in Thailand with flowers through us and the Floral World...With his innate ability to make more with less he made a masses of friends.. here now in this new book he shares his passion for the traditional forms ,techniques and patterns of Thai Floral art he learned from the Florists of the Inner Royal Thai Court. What we get is a heady mix of Thai Flower Culture at its purest side by side and his new interpretations, turning pedestrals , garlands, small floral offerings and accessories into marvellous inspirational works and offering at glimpse at the possibilities that can motivate the inner cretive in us all. We dream of being nearby the wafting perfume of one of his gardenia window pendants and watch his floral floats lazily drift by. Starry and divine Jasmine , fragrant gardenias ,exquisite handsewn orchid petals.lotus flowers are everywhere ..The book ist only a wonderful cultural tribute but a sensual treat..we're sure you will catch a puff of perfume like we do each time we turn each page, the work is so evocative.

One of the staple earlier books for Mami Flower design Schools .A nifty little volume which introduces the special MFDS approach to working with all Plant material and how to anchori it in the least obtrusive way possible. Hanakaburi, natural flower supports are easy to recognise and restful to the eye to observe and especially respectful of the materials one works with . When ever we open a book from Mami we feel a sense of correctness and appropriateness in how work. A simple book but worth its weight in gold coins and a prayer in any florists library.
