These flowers are among my favorites. They just look so real and are not just for Easter !! They make incredible bouquets and exceptional gifts, they are made with love and are ever lasting ! Perfect for a hostess gift, or a keepsake. Gorgeous any time. These are remarkable little sculptures in their own right. They are SO realistic, when folks see them in person, they are amazed at their life like quality. Students will have their choice of colors. In this class we will trace, cut and shape the Lily petals and leaves using professional quality crepe paper, wire, paints, markers, pastels or craypas. We will form the stamens with wire and then sculpt the stigma and stamens using sculpty clay and paints. We will then assemble the flowers using glue, floral wire, and floral tape. This is truly a unique and valuable skill, and can lead to years of beauty and creativity for you and anyone who learns it.
