Please, let me know what you think??? This is my first time dusting and steaming the flowers. Thanks all!!

Wow..They are Beautiful!! They look real! You steamed them..Wouldn't it cause them to wilt or melt?Does it help the dust stick?

Lovely..Lovely!!

Absolutely gorgeous! Great job

I wish i could make my roses that life like. Awesome job

Love them!!!!!!!!
Edna

Your roses are super stunning!! I would also like to know why do you steam them and for what reason??
I would absolutely love to make roses that looks so lifelike......

Is a light steam what you do, basically this settles the color and instensifies it. If you steam it to much it will make the flower too wet.

Really gorgeous. They look real. Great job!

Beautiful rosebuds!!!

Thank you ........I really does mean alot. After dusting and steaming the flowers do pop.....I could not of learned so much if not for everyone here!!! Thanks again everyone!!

Brenda

They are beautiful. Very well made. But if I could just make a comment... I would have added a bit of colour to the calyx (green bit at the bottom of the roses). They are gorgeous.

Regarding the steaming... you only pass them through the steam quickly so the dust blends in and gets a nice sheen to it.

Your daughters wedding cake is going to look stunning.

WOW!! They look amazing!!! Nice work!!

Wow! I wish I could make roses. They're beautiful!!

I did dust the calyx with avocado green luster dust.....should I use a different color???

I used avocado green with a hint of forest green to get the color for the calyx. I could not find moss green...then used the luster dust.

I appreciate all the advice. Thanks!

Brenda

They are so beautiful! If i hadnt read the heading, i would hv thought that they were real! Please excuse my ignorance but are they made of sugarpaste?

They are so beautiful! They are so realistic.

Is there a tutorial on steaming roses that I missed on here?

Wonderful job! Your daughter must be excited that you've made such beautiful flowers for her cake. I can't wait to see the whole thing. I bet it will be gorgeous.

Wow...I think they look really great...definitely very realistic looking. Excellent job! I learned something new too re: dusting & steaming!
