Great ideas which are easy to recreate at home,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jane Packer: Flower, Design, Philosophy (Hardcover)
The pictures in this book are to die for, the colours are just so vibrant. Jane Packer makes the most sophisticated of arrangements easy and straightforward for even complete beginners like me. Her ideas are fun and original.

Disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jane Packer: Flower, Design, Philosophy (Hardcover)
I have several of Jane Packer's books and have enjoyed them all, again and again, immensely. However, I found the page design of this book so irritating that I lost the desire to read what was no doubt an interesting text. The many close-up, out-of-focus shots of flowers and often-tiny font sizes lost against dark backgrounds, meant it was visually displeasing. Having been so delighted in the past, I was very disappointed on this occasion. Oh dear.

Unusual, finally!,

This review is from: Jane Packer: Flower, Design, Philosophy (Hardcover)
I bought this book looking for some fresh, new and stylish idea and definitely found it.
Pictures are beautiful and inspiring, descriptions are clear. I do love Jane Packer refined, romantic as well as simple style. In case you are looking for beauty and art from a great artist, you need this book. Elena
