Floral structures are the in-thing which is interesting in a world when anything seems to go any which way in Floristry these days in the name of creativity. Here two adventurous French florists set out on a path where they introdue you to a great idea using a structure at a time as a base They simply make at base then decorate it. and the point about these bases is of course you can use them over and over again . The idea of the books shows how one can dress the base several different ways and they show you some of their examples<.br>
Using this novel approach and by their inspiring choice of form and materials your own piece could be the fifth and sixth in a series of your own designs begining with the initial base as they do . Muriel Le Couls and Gil Boyard, both Meilleur Ouvrier de France acheivers designed these structures to use with tables, flat surfaces and buffets in mind but they could be used in exhibition work, competitions and for anywhere a certain emphasis on new design is appropriate.Joy in this book is that it leaves the florist space to go even further r and create something even brighter and more personal . A book brimful of creative ideas and possibilities galore.Dare to try!
