Here’s what some of our flower-buds are saying about the book:

Gordon Bruce Art: “I am very happy to be one of the first to purchase this excellent book. I have been a fan of Christine’s floral artwork for years. When I found out there was going to be a book featuring her designs I wanted to pre-order it. Floral design is a very popular art movement with Christine being one of the world’s most popular award winning designers. The book is very well made with high quality materials used. I liked the pictures that were of very clear high resolution photographs of the designs. Christine talks about her process and is a guide to aspiring designers throughout the book. I would recommend it to anyone.”

Thalia Basulto, FiftyFlowers.com: "We're captivated by the elaborate (yet DIY-friendly) designs in Master Floral Artist, Christine de Beer's new book 'The Effortless Floral Craftsman,' a floral crafter's guide to crafting with nature. You'll find 300 how to's, design tips and a ton of inspiration using plant materials. If you're a flower design enthusiast, you'll want to get your hands on this book!"

Pim van den Akker, Flower Factor: "The Effortless Floral Craftsman, a floral crafter's guide to crafting with nature provides a lot of fresh ideas for delicate floral designs and innovative use of materials. Christine de Beer's works show skill and have quite an impact, despite their modest appearance. A lovely source of inspiration; Christine's book is something to keep an eye out for, we really enjoyed it!"

Vivienne Tumaru: "For over 2 years now I have followed the website and recently on Instagram the many designs Christine de Beer has posted to social media with interest reading the tutorials and many creative ideas.

This does mean that we are making the more “mass market” book- let’s call it the “Design Room” edition, a priority. We are looking into pulling in the release date so that everyone can get a copy of the book that suits their particular needs as soon as possible. The Design Room edition will still be great quality but be slightly smaller, slightly more standard, the pages will not be as glossy and overall just slightly less customized- in other words beautifully machined rather than beautifully handcrafted. This means it will be less expensive and production will be faster so you can order it from your favourite online retailer and benefit from their shipping discounts. This book will be available in 2019.
