How to make "ArtFlower"


The true sense of the word "Artificial"

Artificial flowers we see in the market. Although they are called artificial flowers, most of them are produced by machines.
Flowers produced in mass production all have the same shape and color.
They might be called printed flowers rather than artificial.

Each flower has its own individuality, produced by human hands. They are artificial flowers in the true sense of the word.
Please come and see for yourself the works created by the artist's skillful use of color and shape.
