What was your inspiration?

Jacqueline Butler's tutorial and her Petal Sweet blog :)

What are you most proud of?

The flowers took FOREVER, but they were worth every moment! I was thrilled when I was asked if the flowers were real or not :)

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Watch Jacqueline Butler's tutorial, and practice practice practice. She shows you how to make just a few flowers, but the techniques she teaches are wonderful for applying to anything else you want to make.

Beautiful! The flowers DO look real. You have a real talent for the details that make the difference between good and great. I have taken some Wilton classes and enjoyed them very much, but they weren't long enough. I hope to learn more from Craftsy and other classes.
