Product description explanations 4. Glossary
If you can't find the flower you want in the "Fashion" section, you may find it in the "Interior decoration" section. Then remove the stem and attach a brooch pin (from the craft section). If you can't find the colour product you want, select a close or lighter colour and colour it with "Design Master"tm colour tools or similar. Products are usually measured in centimetres (cm) 2.5 cm = 1 inch= 25mm Colour communication. If you need to match or tone in with a certain colour, you can send in a colour sample with an idea of what type of flower or look you are after, and we can give recomendations. If you are after a quick responce you can communicate a colour refering to a matching or similar colour sample from a late edition of the "Australian Womans Weekly". eg; january 05 edition, page 43, top right hand photo, sky colour or see our colour referance page (left menu). Size communication. To get an idea of the stated size / measurement of an item or flower in relation to the garment or object being decorated, cut a paper silluette to the approximate stated dimentions and hold that against the object or garment to be decorated, to get a relitive idea of the floral effect area in relation to the garment. 6.

FABRIC

Required back by..______/______/______
Ordered by..__________________(sig) NOTE ; Fabric required is approx’ 6 to 7 times the area of each average flower. eg: (say a 10cm diameter typical average flower is needed) 10 x 10 x 7 = 700sq cm or 10cm x 70cm of fabric per flower is required, or 16 flowers per metre off a 1.12m wide roll. Payment by phone, fax, internet, direct credit.. Fabric supplied should be wider than the flower required, squared off and no scraps if possible. Print your name and identify right (presentation) side of fabric on fabric edge. Delivery is about 2 weeks from receiving order unless prior arranged. Traditionally handcrafted flowers are not water, dry clean or crush, resistant. 8. what size flower looks best for my needs? Well, only you and
possibly your friends can know what look you are after. But we can help with
inspiration and calculating the size of the flower decoration (for
communication purposes) that you are after. To help calculate the size of your silk flower decoration, first roughly guess a dimetre (say 10cm), then add a couple of cm's (say 12cm). Now mark and cut a circle (12cm) with maybe some other diametre circles marked (say 6, 8, 10 cm). Place the cut circle at the intended position of the decoration, trim the circle to the desired diametre, then guage the size that looks best from there. Record the diametre that looks best for your needs. Now you know the size of decoration that you require and can look for a matching item of similar size. Flower profiles (the depth of the flower, or how far it sticks out from the garment, etc..) are less important, basically most flowers have an average profile of about 4cm. For very low profile applications we recommend the camellia which typically has a profile of 2cm. If you have any questions after this you can call us to discuss your artificial flower decoration needs, record any item numbers and diametres that you are interested so we can more understand your enquiry ("a picture paints a thousand words").
