That’s amazing, Christina!!! Thank you so much! 💗💗💗
One question: For how long will the petals stay flexible after drying? Is Modena the clay which stays most flexible?

Thank you :) If it’s branded cold porcelain , the petals stay flexible indefinitely, apparently. So far I have few flowers made with Modena, and yes, they stiffened a little compared to what they were 3 weeks in but remained the same for a year after, pretty flexible and bendable. Thai clay is also very flexible 3 months on, so will bend and not break. Self made, unfortunately gets more and more brittle as time goes on , brilliant for practice as good as branded to work with , nearly, but NOT any more worth for long term storage than sugar imho
