Title: The Artful Ribbon: Beauties in Bloom Author: Kling, Candace Released: 1996-12-01 Publisher: C & T Pub - US ISBN: 9781571200204 Format: Paperback Category: Crafts, Hobbies & Home Last Updated: 2018-06-11 Rating: -1 Pages: 144 Description: Presents a variety of patterns to make ribbon flowers, includes roses, pansies, fuchsias, and provides tips and tricks for collecting, storing, and laundering Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Review When viewing the magnificent floral forms that Candace Kling creates, it's sometimes hard to believe that they are actually pleated, gathered, ruched, and twisted ribbons--not the real thing. Her gorgeous ribbon flowers appear to be extremely intricate and complicated, but her extensive directions and diagrams take the mystery out of recreating everything from roses to pansies to poppies to daffodils. After nearly two decades of researching antique ribbon work, her knowledge of vintage pieces is evident in much of her work and in her finely tuned sense of color. The many photos of vintage ribbon-work flowers, not to mention those of her own artistry, are themselves worth the price of the book. |
