Cosmos and grasses

These were supposed to be cosmos, but the petal shape is far too rectangular, however I thought they still made quite a nice posy with the grasses.
The buds and leaves of the cosmos are made out of flower paste too and were very fiddly and fragile. No breakages yet!
I followed Alan Dunn’s tutorial for making the grass – very therapeutic to make!

Thank you everyone.
Gilles, the grass is very simple. Twiddle a small piece of paste onto a fine wire, so it coats it very thinly. Then using a very fine pair of scissors cut into it. Then dust. Very simple.
