I have a request to do a lotus flower, but I'm just wondering does the flower sit on a lily pad? I've read differently...any thoughts?
Eileen, how did you do the pad and flower?
You did an amazing job on these. They look so real.
MUY BELLA
Thank you Goreti!
You really did an great job on this. They both look so real. I really love the lotus.
Thanks, Linda! That was actually the second one I had to make. The first one was much too large and didn't work with the flower.
June - my friend who asked for the cake told me she loved teal, purple, dragonflies and lotus flowers. She sent me a picture that was similar to this and that's what I worked from. :) She's an art teacher so it was a bit intimidating to do something artistic for her.
My heavens, Eileen, that dragonfly is perfection!
This is so cool Eileen. Was this your idea or the customer's request?
