Di Van Niekerk’s Roses in Silk and Organza Ribbon

　　Whether learning on the exquisite rose sampler specially designed for the book or making only one rose, crafters will be able to use this reference book to make exceptional floral projects. With more than 60 techniques, ranging from easy to the more complex, the book shows how to make delicate, beautiful, and realistic silk roses and organza leaves for every occasion: adorning a hat or a knitted bag, embellishing a crocheted scarf, or adding beauty to a beaded necklace. Techniques are included for 16 different roses, rose petals and rose hips, sepals, stems and leaves, spent roses and stamens, gorgeous little birds, a bird's nest, beautiful butterflies, and bows and wisteria. With clear, step-by-step photographs, this how-to makes creating unique works of art fun and easy.
