## Overview

Kanzashi in Bloom is a beautifully illustrated craft book that demystifies the Japanese art of tsumami flower folding with 3 simple petal techniques.

## Description

Kanzashi tsumami is the Japanese art of folding delicate squares of silk into three-dimensional flower petals. In the United States, the online craft culture has sprouted a renewed interest in making Kanzashi with American crafters devising simplified ways to create these gorgeous fabric flowers and incorporating more user-friendly materials like cotton and synthetic fabrics along with the traditional silks. Kanzashi in Bloom takes the American interpretation of Kanzashi a step further, presenting modern, more easily executed flower designs as elements in a variety of fun, fashionable, hip craft projects. Kanzashi in Bloom offers advice on materials, three petal-folding styles, and techniques for assembling a Kanzashi flower. You’ll also find instructions for 20 projects to wear and give as gifts, including: • Tiny blossom earrings • Flowers-in-your-hair clips • The happiest belt buckle ever • Elegant floral gift topper

Review: beauty and clarity in a portanble package. - Kanzashi- beautiful flowers made from relatively small pieces of folded fabric and a few stitches. Meditative, a bite size craft- uses up the boxes full of fabric labelled "scraps too small to keep" (you have one too, admit it)- instant gifts or embellishments, instant creative satisfaction. In this beautifully produced book, Diane Gilleland takes the reader step by step through the process of creating lovely kanzashi. If you are familiar with Gilleland's instructional style from her blog and podcast ([...]), you will be as happy as I was to find the same kind of clear, unambiguous written instructions, and accompanying images. One of the biggest attributes that sets this author's instruction apart from many others is her ability to explain things in a way that can't be misinterpreted, and to choose photographs or diagrams that show exactly what they need to show. This is actually harder than it sounds, and so many publications fall short. Too many craft books are really about the author. They showcase the work of the author and their friends, and the teaching aspect seems really secondary- even unto leaving key points out of the instructions, like a cook who gives you her special family recipe, but you KNOW she left something out because you can never get it to taste quite the same. That is NOT the case here- you will be whipping up your own beautiful flowers in no time, and there is no reason why they won't be as perfect as the ones in the book. The other big unique strength of this book, as in all Gilleland's work, is her casual, sisterly way of empowering the reader to take the skills she shares, and then go and make them their own. For many of us, the first step in creativity is a 'baby step' of trying the same thing in a slightly different colour or material, and Gilleland always leaves me feeling like it was my own idea. Her almost offhand suggestions like 'these would also look great as a..." really are the first push many of us got in the direction of daring to think creatively ourselves.
Review: A great place to start - I bought this book because I was interested in making a Kanzashi bouquet for my wedding. This best thing about the book is that the instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Anyone with a little crafting skill can be whipping up flowers in no time. I do wish that the book had included instructions for a few more petal/flower styles. I was a bit disappointed to discover that the bulk of the book consisted of suggestions for things that you could do with the flowers, rather than actual flower making. Still, it's a great place to start if you've never made Kanzashi before, I'm happy with the purchase and it helped me accomplish my goal of a Kanzashi bouquet with beautiful results.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than I anticipated!!
*by S***Y on November 1, 2010*

I happened on this art by accident and searched out a book to learn it. The instructions are crystal clear, I would venture to say a child over 12 could make these lovely creations. It also gives ideas for different uses for the flowers, many different types, 20 I believe, flowers as well as ideas of mixing the styles and fabric color for different looks. MANY, MANY different looks. Decorate purses, hair clips, pins, just fire up your imagination and with a minimum of items to purchase, you're good to go. These work for everyday wear or something as elaborate as a wedding depending on what you choose or your soon to be married girlfriend talks you into. I cannot imagine a better book for learning and getting off to a running start on some stunning creations. They are absolutely beautiful and instructs you in the three basic types of petals. There may be more but I'm happy with these *so far*. I have only made one to try but having done that. I can understand how the others are done. I could not recommend this book any highly if you love fabric flowers. If you're not sure, take a look inside and see some of the gorgeous flowers. BRAVO, this is a fabulous book. Being able to see inside the book sold me. I wish more were available for a peek inside, you really know what you're getting. This could truly be addictive.
