Enticing and very clear, but needs skill. I will have to keep it for the future when I have time. I eluld have loved the rose as a single.

PROFESSIONALE
Un libro altamente professionale, per professionisti del genere , non pensavo fosse cosi' di alto livello.....vedendo la foto della rosa in copertina , vorresti riproporla invece è difficilissimo solo con l'aiuto del libro da tradurre in italiano.....sono le tecniche di applicazioni di fiori di seta e di organza fatti a mano sulla stoffa, come le coperte , lenzuola eccmolto interessante, ma anche molto difficile!
