The Basic Steps for
Transferring Patterns
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS
When you open up an antique illustrated storybook containing lavish watercolor
illustrations or engravings, you will often see the main character surrounded by
wildlife and lots of plants. The pictures illustrate how the people who lived when
the book was publishedand certainly long before thathad been living with
and enjoying such plants as part of their everyday lives.
In this book, I show you how to make 43 types of paper wildflowersmainly
ones that are native to (or common to) Europe and North America. Some
may be very familiar to you, and others may seem more exotic. If you find a
flower that appeals to you, I hope you will make it, and then frame it, use it as a
corsage or perhaps give it to a friendwhatever strikes your fancy!
This book will inspire you to create the flowers described on the following
pages and find many enjoyable ways to use them.
