An outstanding first book from The Crafty Lass Paula Milner. Paulas style is so warm and positive I feel like a friend is gently guiding me through the process. The quality of paper and magnificent photographs - along with the clarity and simplicity of her instructions - are first-rate, with the finished flowers being wonderfully inventive and also very authentic. I have never been so excited by crepe paper, wire and a glue gun - just longing to get started! -- Julie Peasgood * Creative Book Awards Judge *
