Features: This book is a summary of the author's educational research and design creations since 1993. It is divided into three chapters. The first chapter is "Floral Art Chapter," which mainly summarizes the author's research on flower species, shapes, colors, and related floral art. The chapter features nearly 100 of the author's own creations, including 80 designs of different flower species and shapes. Some flower species are absent in China but present abroad, while others are found neither in China nor abroad, so some flower names were created by the author. Additionally, due to time constraints, all photos in this book were taken by the author, so there are still many areas that could be improved. The second chapter is "Application Chapter." The purpose of publishing this book is not only to let people admire it but also to inspire its use. In recent years, the author has mainly engaged in the education, design, and research of accessories. In both classroom and extracurricular settings, a large number of students passionate about silk stocking flower art have emerged. The third chapter of the book is "Craftsmanship Chapter." To share the joy of creating silk stocking flowers with readers, the book features over 100 photos of silk stocking flowers and small works. In the "Craftsmanship Chapter," to facilitate self-learning for interested readers, a detailed introduction is provided on the basic techniques of creating silk stocking flowers. Furthermore, 52 representative and common flower shapes are illustrated with step-by-step (visual and textual descriptions) from simple to advanced. The author firmly believes that any reader who truly loves silk stocking flower art, as long as they study, create, and reflect with dedication, can master the six fundamental shaping techniques—ring winding, webbing, petal shaping, bud shaping, leaf shaping, and assembly. With further practice in various floral crafts, they will be able to effortlessly engage in the design and creation of silk stocking flowers.
