Creativity with flowers - Interior Decoration by Life3 96 pages Hardback Written in English Published 2006 by Stichting Kunstboek Photography by Helén Pe, Kurt Dekeyzer and Pim van der Maden

AB The Life3 team of Per Benjamin, Max van de Sluis and Tomas De Bruyne have taken on a massive project in writing a series of instructional books aimed at students, professional florists wishing to update their skills and floral designers of all levels. Each book in the series covers a specific type of design and in this edition the subject of "Interior Decoration" is tackled with 21 different options on display.

In step-by-step photographs and text, the three designers explain the techniques used in some of their work. Interestingly, they have approached almost every level of technique here insofar as several designs are clearly for beginners whilst others would require a lot of skill to master.

Once again there is a section which explains a brief history of interior decoration together with an insight to the Life3 view of the future. There is genuinely a level of variety that would prove interesting to many people with suggestions on how to turn the mundane into something very special.

I am certain that this series of books will become best sellers and have no hesitation in highly recommending them for all levels of designer. The photography is good and any of the series would make ideal gifts at any time of year.
