An awful name for a pretty flower. I made these today with Platinum Paste, first time working with it and I like it but the dried petals are very fragile. I broke several but didn’t repair them because in nature I imagine a few petals are probably missing. I used styrofoam rose buds for the centers, cut the lavender petals with a rose petal color and veined them with my Vanda Orchid veiner. The petals are just a 5 petal cutter with each petal cut in half with scissors. In nature these are a wild flower and I imagine much smaller, I took artistic licence in making them larger.
