Experience the wonder of the woodlands and create beautiful arrangements with beloved botanical designer Francoise Weeks.
“Here is the beauty of walking in the woods: You see small moments with great clarity.”
In this gorgeous celebration of nature, Françoise Weeks shares the magic of slowing down and creating lush arrangements that capture the beauty of the forest. With an eye to combining and contrasting textures and tones, The Wonder of the Woodlands provides inspiration and ideas for weaving and combining woodland materials into simple and creative designs—from simple tаble top arrangements and wreaths, to artful centerpieces and framed botanical pieces to adorn a wall. In this book, you will experience the joy of creating art with what you find and finding art in what you see.
Each chapter of Wonder of the Woodlands features materials that Francoise uses in her arrangements–including barks and logs; acorns and seedpods; and ferns, branches, moss, and lichen—including tips and instructions for responsibly foraging or sourcing them in a local shop. For each element, Francoise shares her design philosophy as well as guidance on how she builds her unique and beautiful woodland arrangements.
With stunning photography and magnificent botanical arrangements, The Wonder of Woodlands brings the vibrant experience of the woodlands into your home and everyday life–a beautiful gift for nature lovers, crafters, and creatives.
