[.uk] Wagashi: Handcrafted Fashion Art from Japan (ISBN 1933308141)

Delightful but...:
This book is filled with beautiful projects and lively fabric combinations that are inspriational. I've had this book a little over a week and have been busy making a number of projects. I have made three flowers so far and none of them look like the ones shown on the cover. I used a different fabric for each one and I'm still not sure why her's looks so much better than mine. Perhaps a discription of suitable fabrics would be useful(I've learned what doesn't work). I'm making the Protea purse and I'm pleased with the way it is turning out but it is very labor intensive as it is all hand stiched. If you enjoy working on small intricate pieces, are able to improvise and do not get too frustrated when things don't turn out; this book could be a joy to you.
