" After reading this
book, I was amazed
about all the different uses for paper flowers.

The details and the
step-by-step
instructions make it
simple to follow.

My seven year old
daughter and I sat
down and made several of the designs
demonstrated in your
book and totally
enjoyed ourselves.

I recommend to anyone wanting to learn how to make paper flowers to purchase this book. "

" I bought your book to give to my daughter in-law and granddaughter, after printing it out I was reading it and decided to try one of the flowers, so I grabbed some tissues
and followed your instructions, to my surprise I had something that looked like a flower.

I found I had enjoyed myself and had a sense of pride at what I had just done.

Thank you. Is it OK to make another copy that I can use when my
granddaughter comes over for visits so we can make flowers together.

Thank you, "

" Thank you for "The Art of Making Paper Flowers". It was an easy to follow, that let's me find hours of fun, and relaxing time with my daughter it is easy to just go out and buy artificial flowers, but with your book I got to enjoy-experiment and create my own arrangements with this book!

The materials needed were clearly listed, and the instructions
explained so that children to adults could understand.

The choices of flowers is great, and with lots of helpful hints and suggestions, for all occasions.

Thanks for reminding me that the crafts of the past, are still fun
in the present!

" After reading "The Art of Making Paper Flowers", I have been able to make beautiful paper flowers myself.

The book is very helpful with detailed
instructions and diagrams and makes
doing your own crafts very easy. "

According to an interview in Garden Illustrated, March, 2006, Jude Miller
 began making crepe paper flowers in the 1990’s. She got her first instructions from a Dennison instruction booklet, just as so many of us did.

Today she makes “botanical sculptures,” painstakingly correct renditions of all sorts of flowers from wild flowers to roses.

The interview quotes Ms. Miller, “Crepe paper is magical stuff. It has a sort of elastic quality and a grain so it can be layered and cut on the bias as you would fabric.”

Ms. Miller spends hours studying individual flowers before she begins to sculpt them in crepe paper. She works on difficult-to-reproduce flowers, sometimes making molds to make sure the petals curve just as she wants them to.

She’s had to invent techniques for reproducing flowers in such intricate detail that they are exhibited at Horticultural Societies.

She uses varnishes, beads, colored thread and silk organza as well as the materials we’re used to—crepe paper, wire and adhesives.

She works only by commission, starting at $300.00. So, you see, it’s worth the time to practice techniques.

Take a moment to visit her website www.judemiller.com to study some of her creations and read the full interview.
