Gumpaste Tropical Flowers
Gumpaste ikebana vase, with arrangement of gumpaste tropical flowers: anthurium, gloriosa, strelitzia i lotus pods. I'm not entirely happy with gloriosa since the petals should have been more sharply bent (but I had nothing convenient to dry them in and I run out of aluminum foil and I was convinced I had another roll before I started with the flowers. Not too bad for first attempt for gloriosa and strelitzia, but can be better.

Gumpaste Princess
I was just fooling around, trying out new embossers and taffeta rolling pin. Gumpaste figure and little flowers, fondant hair and dress, dress also has a little tulle insert in front, pinned to the dress with a florist wire. I originally wanted to do some royal icing lace over the tulle part, but humidity was over 90% on the day I made it, so I skipped RI part.

Belle
Belle on a dummy cake covered with white fondant, with white trellis with red roses in the background (trellis is uneven because part of it broke off, next time I made it I dried it for much longer and then it can last for weeks) Modelling paste/gumpaste, dress is gumpaste+wilton fondant. I used mould for the head, and painted eyes with liquid colour, and the lips and cheeks with powder colour. I am till not happy how my 3D figures turn out, I would appreciate some constructive criticism.

Sleeping Beauty
Sleeping beauty on a dummy cake. Made just for practice, still trying to improve my human figures, suggestions for improvement are appreciated. Bed is Wilton fondant (headboard is gumpaste), figure is modelling paste/gumpaste mixture. I used the mold for the head and for flowers on headboard, the rest is done by hand. I would really, really like to hear some constructive criticism how to improve my human figures.
