Críticas

A lengthy, lovely, lavishly produced volume. This is a book that will enthrall and delight the experienced designer and student alike. A beautifully done book with art that you'll want to hang on the wall. -- Sharon Wootton "Everett Herald" (10/24/2002) [Explains] the basics of flower arranging without becoming too simplistic. -- Judy Lowe "Christian Science Monitor" (12/04/2002) Beautiful photographs are both inspiring and "objets" in their own right. A book to drool over. -- Ann Milovsoroff "Pappus" (11/05/2002) A fine survey culminating over thirty years experience in consulting, teaching, and creating custom floral designs. -- James A. Cox "Bookwatch" (11/07/2002) This is a genuinely useful reference for both the novice and master designer. I cannot stress highly enough the value of this book to your reference library. Nearly every page is filled with color photographs. . . . Above all, de Jong-Stout encourages you to enjoy floral creations. -- Gwen Schoen "Sacramento Bee" (05/04/2002) This work is appropriate for novice and experienced floral designers and would be a good acquisition for public library collections. -- Cari Ringelheim "American Reference Books Annual" (03/27/2003) An obvious love of the subject infuses de Jong-Stout's writing. . . . Compelling photographs and appealing drawings accompany instructive text that expands on an aesthetic approach to the finer points of composition. -- Alice Joyce "Booklist" (02/26/2002) From her over thirty years of experience in consulting, teaching and creating custom floral designs, she introduces the designer to insider techniques and her floral inspirations are shown in excellent color photography. -- Joanne S. Carpender "National Gardener" (11/07/2002) From [the author's] over thirty years of experience in consulting, teaching, and creating custom floral designs, she introduces us to insider techniques. . . . Her floral inspirations are shown in excellent color photography. -- Joanne S. Carpender "National Gardener" (08/08/2002) A gorgeous book with beautiful illustrations and excellent text. It is clear on the elements of principles of design. Very cutting edge and European in feel. This is one of the best books for designers with any degree of experience I have seen. -- Gay Estes "By Design" (11/26/2002) "The Christian Science Monitor's" "The Year's Best Garden Books.""A Master Guide to the Art of Floral Design" devotes about half of its pages to explaining the basics of flower arranging without becoming too simplistic. Then comes a photo gallery of beautiful arrangements, which gives examples of how the principles can be applied. My favorite: a very simple wreath of violets. What an appealing use of a plant that many gardeners consider a weed. -- Judy Lowe "Christian Science Monitor" (12/04/2002)

Reseña del editor

Now available in paperback, A Master Guide to the Art of Floral Design is a fresh approach to an ancient art. Exquisite photography and illustrations join with a unique, comprehensive theory to reveal the beauty of flowers and their role as teachers of floral design. Practical, hands-on information about color, the science of lighting, floral care, containers, construction, and alternative techniques complements the concept. A wide-ranging photo gallery provides stunning examples of floral designs, from Continental to Asian to contemporary in spirit, and demonstrates great ideas for casual living, parties, and weddings. A visual delight grounded in practical understanding, this book is directed toward the advanced practitioner but is equally accessible to the floral designer who is just beginning.
