The designer's designer, Robba has fashioned beautiful arrangements for everyone from Vogue to Pierre Cardin. In The Art of Arranging Silk Flowers, surely the loveliest fabric flower arrangement book ever to be published, Robba shares his inspired design sense which always takes its cues from nature -- its harmonious color combinations, the subtleties of the blooming process, its imperfections, and its simple beauty. Robba provides practical information demonstrating how to select, arrange, and maintain silk flowers using three different design techniques -- planted in moss, immersed in the illusion of water, and fashioned into bouquets. Step-by-step special projects as well as complete details on materials, methods, and preservation serve both beginner and experienced arrangers alike.
