I bought this as a gift for a friend, and she absolutely loved it. I thought the pictures were kind of inspirational if you're looking to create with a natural medium. I also thought it would just be a great coffee table book. The art is beautiful and creative.
Artist has an inspirational story. The photos are gorgeous. Just bound wrong.
So creative and such beautiful photographs. This book made me want to go for a walk in the woods!
This artist is unbelievably talented… I have always enjoyed her work, but seeing this collection together with descriptions is breathtaking!
I bought this for a friend that loves flowers and plants. I follow the author of the book on IG and knew my friend would love her..and she does. The art work is so beautiful.
Such a fascinating art form and book. The artists amazing talent is accompanied with meaningful thoughts and descriptions. I love nature and this book shows the artists unique interpretation using everything natural. Simply beautiful!
Must have if you love VICKI RAWLINS! I just adore her work and have one of her pieces framed & hung that I cherish. It makes me smile every time I see it. All of her creations are natural pieces that she’s gathered herself and she arranges everything by hand (no glue!), photographs them & returns the pieces to the earth. Just so cool! This book is kind of a behind the scenes look into her process. If you’re interested in this kind of thing- you won’t be disappointed. Plus, it makes a great coffee table book, especially if you have any of her pieces. Great conversation starter. Highly recommend.
