Crochet Bouquet by Suzann Thompson
This work contains crochet bouquets of nearly 50 wonderful flowers, in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours! Created in ribbon, chenille and silk, this contemporary garden will get intermediate-level crocheters grasping their hooks. Some of the flora looks realistic; others are beautifully fanciful, pure products of the imagination. A simple, well-photographed basics section explains how to create them all: specialty techniques include felting, stacking the flowers, stiffening the petals and linking the flowers together. 'Grow' daffodils, dahlias, ferns, primroses, sunflowers and violets - or even a fantastic blossom with layers of scalloped petals radiating out in increasing size from a crystal button centre. For added inspiration, a series of showcase projects incorporates the blossoms, including hats, backpacks, pillows and cards.Suzann Thompson has been crocheting and knitting since she was a child. She made a small fortune (a few hundred bucks) crocheting and selling granny-square handbags in junior high. However, she later decided to focus on writing and design rather than mass production. Suzann teaches and writes about crochet, knitting, and polymer clay, and is the author of Crochet Bouquet and Crochet Garden (both Lark). She resides in Dublin, Texas, with her husband and two daughters.
