Day 9, 10 and 11 - Intensive PME Diploma - Sugar Flowers

So I thought I would blog about the last few days of the intensive PME course together as it was just all about making flowers.

Here are some pictures of the individual flowers I made.  All the flowers made were for a spray that we put together on the last day of the intensive course.


I don't really know much about flowers- and I cant remember what this flower was called- if you know - let me know!


This lovely stalk of flowers above is called the lily of the valley


The above picture are my lily petals after dusting - it is amazing how the colour is absorbed into the petal paste!


My yellow rose is something that I was really pleased with


Above is my lily once assembled :)


Tony, the tutor's lilly- lovely colours!


On the last day Tony showed us how to put together bunches of the flowers that we had made earlier on in the week together.

Day 8 - Intensive PME Diploma - Sugar Flowers

Day 8


Today was the first day of sugar flowers and I absolutely loved it!






We started off by making some plaques and decorated them making sugarpaste flowers.
The first flower we made was the gerbera.  I love this flower, with a couple of layers of flowers, you can make some amazing flowers.




We used tints to colour the tips of the petals to make the flower look more life like.


We then moved onto a christmas poinsettia- here it is.





The next thing we made was my favourite- a rose.






The next part of the lesson was making flowers using petal paste and wires.  The wilton petal paste we used was quite good and nice to work with. The rest of today's lesson was learning all about pulled flowers - it is amazing what you can do with this tool.


I made the following pulled flowers and finished off by adding stamens.





We will be making bigger wired flowers tomorrow- looking forward to it :)
