"In A Sweet Floral Life, Natasja guides you through her creative process of flower arranging and developing your personal style, along with tutorials for seasonal arrangements, living and entertaining with flowers, and how to photograph flowers. A former fashion designer, Natasja began making flowers out of sugar to honor her African and Indonesian ancestors who worked in the sugarcane fields of Suriname. In A Sweet Floral Life, Natasja provides steps for sculpting sugar flowers, a versatile medium with limitless possibilities--they can be used in fresh floral arrangements, displayed on their own as unique home dâecor, or used to adorn cakes. And whether it's the middle of summer or the dead of winter, sugar flowers are always in season and always in perfect full bloom."--Publisher marketing.
