I got plenty of ugly faces in those paused moments!...thank god for hand shots!..
A few days with my accent and you will end up speaking spanish!
By the way, good luck with that 100% humidity!..I say make sure is dry before trying to put them together.
You dont want broken petals. Unless you made extras!
Hey sharon!..is so good to see you around!.. I forgot so say that earlier!
Edna
O.K. Edna we know Lea and if pausing you with funny faces made her laugh, then yes, I bet she did.
All joking aside, yes, do post a picture of the flowers Lea when you are done. Can't wait to see how they turn out, I'm betting they are beautiful!
I am also betting Lea, Edna dvd is awesome and that is easy to follow along with her.
God Bless,
Sharon
Actually you don't even SEE her face until the last half of the tape so you get some great gumpaste and knife wielding hand pauses for a while!
You would be making a good bet on Edna's DVD being awesome and easy to follow! Seriously, I can't say enough good about how well she teaches on this tape! And hey, she's great company too!!
aww..thanks...
You have no idea how much I wanted to avoid putting my face in the video. But the darn flower is so big, I couldn't do a good hand shot with it...I did tried!..

It's good to be around...I have had a lot of family visiting in last 3 to 4 weeks and I was sick over the weekend...but feeling better now. I think I have just been over doing it here latey and it is catching up with me.
Lea said: Seriously, I can't say enough good about how well she teaches on this tape! And hey, she's great company too!!
I know her youtubes are outstanding so I know the dvd has to be. She was great company for me also Lea when I did the Calla Lilly for the wedding cake. So, I know and understand what your saying, when you talk about how well she teaches. Yes, I will come clean...I did have to pause her from time to time while making them. I even made a few extras just so I could play with dusting them
I'll have to put the dvd on my wish list
God Bless,
Sharon
Teecakes, is right that dvd is so great and easy to learn from, I am waiting on some more of my supplies to come in, and then I will be making mine.
Hey Edna,
I was wondering why you were hiding your face so much, Come to find out you are shy like I am, but you are very Pretty, so you should show your face more, And I know what you mean about the accent thing, I am from another Country also, and even though I was here 21 years People still ask me to repeat what I say They say oh it is your Jamaican Accent, Mind you I am from Guyana
And how about that orchid flower next, the one in your photos

Hey sharon!..is so good to see you around!.. I forgot so say that earlier!

Yes, I made extras because of the humidty and being aware of how easily these kinds of pieces can break! I won't even attempt to put them together until I know they are completely dry.
On speaking Spanish after spending a day with you in my kitchen.......I will never say "cornstarsh" the same again!! I LOVE listening to you talk! I'll be listening and watching again as soon as these pieces are dry!
Uniqueask has a great suggestion for your next flower DVD......that gorgeous Orchid!!
Hey Sugarshack Sharon! Good to see you! I can hardly wait until Oct 5th gets here so we can see your team win! I hope!!!
drat, I knew I should have ordered last night
Edna can you give us a heads up when it's working again so I can place my order.
Thanks
BTW I will be visiting my parents in Winter Haven, FL in a few weeks. Do you have any classes scheduled that I might take?
Love to meet you.
Nannie
I will nannie!..im about to die with this!....I been all morning with the webmaster.. Im about to die..As soon as they have it back up runing I will let you know!
Edna
now, now, Edna
Don't die then you couldn't bless us with even more wonderful dvd's
I will be waiting patiently whenever you're up again.
oh..believe me!..im so frutrated..I been on the phone for 3 hours trying to solve this
Edna
Hang in there Edna! We all know you are doing everything possible to get your website back up and going again! Hopefully they will get it fixed for you very soon! In the meantime I don't see why someone wanting your dvd can't just pm or email you with their request! I know I would!
Hugs!
Other than going there and hang the guy who made the mistake..I am doing all possible.
I will keep you guys posted!
Edna
My Lily pieces all finally dried enough for me to get them painted!
Edna, did you glaze yours before you wired them? I want mine to have the same finish as the one on the picture of your DVD and I can't tell if it is glazed or not.
Ready to get wired!!!
Well, I made a mistake!! One of those you only make once then you have learned your lesson! I used ONE SIZE TO SMALL OF WIRE on the Lily petals! Edna calls for #26, which I did not have so used my 28 thinking that would work. The weight of the petals is making them hang due south on 26!
Yes, I rolled the leaves very thin just as I do on all my petals but the wire is just not strong enough to hold them up!
I am trying to salvage them and wire them together anyway, just so all is not lost. They are all wired except one petal that broke but I have another one painted and the dots drying on it as I type. Thank God I made extra petals!! Once I get that last petal wired on I plan to support the entire flower with a wad of gp and see if that will work. If not, tomorrow I will be starting all over again with new petals.
Lesson learned; ALWAYS use strong enough gage wire to support the petal or leaf attached to it!
lol lea I learned that lesson a long time ago..But those leafs are not wasted, you can still use them on the cake with no wire!..
Edna
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!..you did awesome!..Did you steal my flower?? ..
They just get better and easier as you make them!.You will see!
Edna
They are still working on my website..they told me they hope to have the problem fix by tomorrow. I hope so!.

HAHAHA! You are funny! Your Lily looks perfect! Mine not so much! But, I am very happy with the way it turned out for my first one! Tomorrow I am going to start on 2 more of them for a 50th bday cake I may be doing over the weekend. Three more if my fix on this lily doesn't work.
Yes, I can tell they are going to get easier with each one! It is because I have such a good teacher!!!
Now I can go to bed and sleep off my hard lesson learned!
Thank you so much for such an awesome and easy to follow DVD!! You are terrific, Edna!!!!
They are still working on my website..they told me they hope to have the problem fix by tomorrow. I hope so!.
Edna
Let's hope they do have it fixed by tomorrow! Early!
I am so happy that I caught this thread. Edna, as soon as your site is up. I will be ordering. I have watched your Utube videos and they have taught me so much. I made a calalily cake that same weekend after watching your tutorial. And you made it seem so easy.
Thank you for sharing all your info with us. You are a wonderful person.
BTW, I regretfully took off my acrylics because I kept on making little nicks in my fondant. Well, after watching your tutorials, I went right back to the salon and put them back on . Your hands are beautiful. I guess I just have to master the art of working with my frenchies.
WOW! Lea your flower looks GREAT!Can't wait to see the cake.
Bless your heart Edna, hope they get it up and running soon...but I know how you feel, I have to ship my tower back to the makers today. They have to fix my CD/DVD drive, it stop working. The think that gets to me is I have only had this computer about 4 months, so I will not be able to get on CC 7 to 10 days.
Well, they said I would have it back in that time frame, I hope so or sooner. Wish me luck ladies, on getting back soon, so guess I will say I will speak with you all in about 10 days.
God Bless,
Sharon
Edna, I have also enjoyed you You Tube tutorials for the Calla Lillies. I had made them before viewing your tutorial, but you made it much simpler. You are a pleasure to watch and learn from. I too will be ordering your new video as soon as possible. Please rush those web geeks along and get up and running ASAP. It's hard to wait for something so good. BTW Lea your lily was absolutely fantastic! Can't wait to give one a try. Lillies are my fav. Again thank you Edna for sharing you talent with us.
Karen
In looking at the picture I think the 2 things that make this lily look so realistic are the pistals (the long green things) and that ridge down each petal.
I've tried making lilies before, even working with a real one nearby for referance and those are the 2 features that I just couldn't duplicate correctly.
It is that attention to detail that makes Miss Edna such a treasure
