Emilio Robba shares his secrets for achieving his innovative designs - always inspired by the natural world. Now everyone can master the art of brilliant floral displays by discovering how to sculpt flower stems for optimum naturalism; design arrangements in three different ways: planted in moss, immersed in the illusion of water, and fashioned into bouquets; follow nature's patterns by choosing colors that harmonize; and create lifelike arrangements by making silk flowers "imperfect". The Art of Arranging Silk Flowers shows you how to select, arrange, and maintain naturalistic silk flowers for every taste and every mood. Robba instructs you on how to choose flowers by color and shape; how to look at the leaves and stems to determine quality; and where and how arrangements are best placed. Whether you follow Robba's step-by-step designs for specific projects or are inspired by the arrangements that appear throughout the book, you will learn the art and craft of silk flower arranging. Included is a comprehensive materials section that outlines all you need to know about tools, containers, and silk flower preservation.
