The Art of Paper Flowers: Creating Realistic Blossoms from Ordinary Papers

undefined

Review ------ “You’ll want to run to the craft store for supplies when you see the gorgeous paper blooms Bobby Pearce created for this easy-to-follow book. Using his grandmother’s full-size patterns from more than 40 years ago, Pearce instructs readers on how to make 35 flower varieties— some so lifelike you’ll swear they grew in the garden.” – Country Woman Magazine "I love this book. Not because my friend Bobby--or as I like to call him, Tony Award-nominated Costume Designer Bobby Pearce--wrote it, but because it's exquisite and beautiful. . . . He's the secret sauce that made my own craft book the success that it was. . . . He's the real deal, and so is The Art of Paper Flowers. Enjoy it in as many ways as you like: for the beauty in its pages, the humor and heart in its words, or the patterns and instructions that will let you create crafts as beautiful as Bobby's. Me, I'm going for all three." - from the Foreword by Rosie O'Donnell Read more ( javascript:void(0) ) About the Author ---------------- BOBBY PEARCE has been a craft lover since he could hold a pair of scissors and has either mastered or dabbled in every craft (except knitting), which is exactly why Rosie O'Donnell featured him on her shows.
