FADED BEAUTY - OFFER

Working with dried flowers is a way to celebrate nature's beauty and decay. With this book on dried flowers, Dorte Kvist shows that flowers can have a life after death. 

As an extension of a sustainable mindset, you can also recycle flowers. Dried flowers are a way to conserve resources, to reuse, and to challenge the throwaway culture. The book goes through tips on which flowers can be dried, where they come from — the wild, the garden, or foreign countries — how much you're allowed to gather in nature, and methods for drying and storing them. You'll also find plenty of inspiration for what to do with the flowers in decorations, installations, wreaths, terrariums, bouquets and artistic pieces, all with DIY guides.

What is perfection? and at what stage is a flower most beautiful? Just like in the beautiful nature, not everything is at its peak all the time; decay is part of the natural cycle and beauty can be found in every stage. Working with dried flowers is a way to honor nature's beauty and decay. 

Dried flowers can be dramatic, elegant, mysterious and above all beautiful and especially poetic.
