The Herbarium of Fabric Flowers

Twenty wearable flower projects from naturalist and fiber artist Utopiano  The Herbarium of Fabric Flowers offers a window into the natural character of plants, which lets you make amazing wearable fabric versions. These floral projects from naturalist and fiber artist Utopiano don't just visually replicate each plant but represent everything about it-even including invisible elements like scent, power, and presence. Each project includes easy instructions for dyeing your cloth pieces, a feature that helps capture the colors of nature and makes these projects one of a kind. This intriguing, botanical-scrapbook shows you how to collect each plant from the field and identify its key traits and uniqueness. Then use the patterns to create fabric versions for wearing or display. Projects range from simple to high intermediate level (more-complex flowers designed in "botanical specimen" formats). Feel the pure joy of creating blooming flowers with your own hands!
