Going to a 60th birthday of a dear dear friend, who use to be my patient. Only friend I kept from my home nursing days after I retired. She has a severe form of MS, and she is my hero as she has never complained, or said “why me”. She has accepted her situation with grace. She is now in a electric wheelchair, losing some of her mobility in her hands…amongst other losses. She loves roses. I wanted something she could keep, look at and enjoy and not deteriorate like gumpaste with exposure to sun, heat, etc. I have had this medium Clay Craft clay for some time. It’s best described as like a fancified paper mâché. Slightly damp, but not wet. So googled, used You Tube to find instructions on use and flower making. It’s like nothing I have ever used before. I LOVE it!!! So easy to manipulate..fast drying time… I’ve already made this rose, plus others…still playing to see what other flowers I can fashion. I’m sure my friend is going to love it. Took pictures in different vases and light to capture best effect/view. Thanks for looking….. :o)

Thanks for the compliment Marlene.
Yes, it’s sad …she is deteriorating rapidly. But her mind is still sharp, and we argue and debate over everything… just like we always have…hee hee

So pretty—I have something like that at home too to try but the mood hasn’t struck me yet. I am sure you friend is going to love this.

Thanks G.
It’s soooo much fun to work with. Bit of a adjustment from gumpaste..and it does have some limitations. But I enjoyed it. Think I’m hooked on it…. :o)
