Valerie Easton’s “Petal & Twig”, tells how to find a source of material for flower arranging in your own garden. If–like me–you’ve ever struggled with getting your home arrangements just right, Easton will loosen you up and give you permission to just go for it, and open your eyes to more possibilities than you ever imagined a few feet from your back door. “After all, you’re crafting performance art that changes hour by hour, day by day, as buds open, petals drop, and flowers droop. Imperfection engages us in the creative process.”
