pdevine Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Lord am I ever addicted to making these things and it's all Donita's fault. :D Though I will NEVER be able to come close to what you do Donita, I must say "I am loving these things". Thanks to you and your advice, I have one waiting at all times to apply flowers to. Still working on trying to get the over dip technique down pat though. Sorry for the quality of pic's, but I couldn't get them to where they weren't blurred some. Portia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donita Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Portia......Wellllllllllllllllllllllll haven't you turned into the best little floral artist and andlemaker? They all came out beautiful. I do have competition now. I am smiling right now. Congrats!!!!!!!!! Job well done. They are sooooo pretty.

pdevine Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 Thank you all soooo much for the compliments, but I have a LONG way to go. These have been the most addictive things I have ever done except for the horse embed pillar that I do. I think what I love most about these is the time it takes to sit and get each flower as PERFECT as you can. I have been known to LOVE tedious (sp?) work.Donita, you are my inspiration and THANK YOU SO MUCH for your patience and advice, I would have never been able to have even attempted these without you.Geekrunner: Thank you and I'm so glad that your SIL liked the candle.Off to more flowers. I'm finding myself now spending $$$$$ on dried flowers instead of fragrance oils now:D PortiaEdit: I'm by no means trying to compete with Donita, I COULD NEVER MEASURE UP TO HER WORK, but trying to achieve/learn an art from her and carry it on.
