How awesome! Congratulations. I am interested in making flowers. Did you teach yourself by using a book or did you go to a class?
My teachers always said you are your own worst critic. What looks like it could use improvement looks absolutely stunning to others. In this case, I know she was right. It is absolutely beautiful! Great job!
Looks good! How did you do it? Did you wire each petal separately? Did you use specific kind of cutters? What kind of gum paste did you use? Sorry.......I just love gum paste and if that is your first, you sure know what you're doing!

I ordered a video... and I'm glad I did. I have a book and I couldn't totally figure out what the book was saying..lol
gerripje- Yes, each petal is wired seperately. I just got some cutters for Christmas and the orchid cutters were with them. I'm using Wilton gumpste right now. I know a lot of people don't like it. But since I'm just learning and practicing it works for me right now.
Thanks Everyone for the nice words and compliments...
its fine. no problem at all. my only thing would be that in real life the leaves are bigger. but the flower is pretty. painting and dusting is good too.
So pretty, looks real. What video did you buy? I have a Wilton book but I don't think I really want to try that I like to see people, I guess I should say I'm a visual learner.
I ordered a video...
Your orchid is absolutely gorgeous! Will you please share which video you ordered? Thanks in advance!
