It would be folly to deceive ourselves or others in thinking we may imitate Nature's handiwork. We can only hope to have hand — made ?owers artistic. Many times the same principle is used for various ?owers. To make the ?ower realistic, choose a shade of ribbon or silk as near the natural color of the ?ower as possible. To further distinguish the ?ower add commercial foliage. Proper foliage for many ?owers is obtainable. For in stance, in making violets, we would use violet colored material, — ii a rose, we would use rose-colored material. In this book are thirty — two models and the use of many different materials is described, — 7/silk, satin, velvet, organdy, kid, velvet, ribbon, chiffon, gingham, fancy ribbon, and chenille. The fancy ribbon creations are nice for boudoir decorations such as lamp or candle shades, pillows, bags or fancy boxes. Pink satin or chiffon ?owers are used With pleasing effect for caps and negligee. A hat may be trimmed with ?owers made of the same material as the hat, or a contrasting material is in good taste.
