Bluebells

Please be kindly informed that we have moved! To read new blog posts, purchase our floral pieces and learn more about how to make flowers you are welcome to visit out new website.

Another inspiration from one the Japanese flower making tutorials is this stem of fantasy bluebells. I made them in intense blue, but would like to recreate in white and soft pink later on. I think they will look very nice in a bridal or a flower girl's head wreath when made in white (or even pink!). Here is the original piece I made:

And how do you see these bluebells? Maybe as a little corsage? Or...? Please let me know ☺

Tiny silk roses on a stem

I have completed my first creation inspired by Japanese books, and although I am a strong believer that there is always room for perfection, the small roses do look rather cute. I was meaning to use them to decorate girls' headband especially that I need to create one for my little niece. Meanwhile here are some photos of the tiny roses:

What's new?

After having received 3 books on silk flower making by world famous Japanese masters in the post I was thinking with what to start. Well, I must admit, the lack of Japanese does not help when I try to understand sophisticated instructions having just a couple of photos at my disposal. So I decided to start from a stem of tiny little roses or even rosebuds. They seem to be OK to make, and besides i have been approached before by my friends who were interested in very small roses.
So far the petals are ready and they are tiny! Here is a photo of a pile of silk petals featuring Fimbriata our new garden rose as well ☺
