Off in a new direction
Always wanted to try to replicate the look of gum paste flowers, without having to rely on carving. This is my first attempt, using petal dust, a cake decorating supply, to add a touch a color on the tips of the petals, bloodwood for the center, and fabric paint for the yellow "stamens".

Very nicely done Carole.
ReplyDeleteThanks. More to come as I figure things out!
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you incorporated "non-traditional" materials into your woodworking! Woodworkers often limit their supplies to what is "known" or "commonplace". Stepping outside the common is a good thing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barbara. I have more surprises in store along that direction. Love the way you've mixed your beading and woodworking.

Glad that you do. I love the rounded shape, and it was made with scraps, which is really neat!
