If I use my pastels, I don't just have "some" colors, I have just about every color!  My favorite set alone, has several hundred sticks.  Boy, I don't have any excuses now, do I?!

Oh, good.  I use only soft pastels because everything I ever tried to do with oil pastels looked like I used crayons...never got the hang of them.

I have read that you can use pastels.  I have a ton of them already, but don't know if they are toxic.  Probably not or I would be long gone :o)  I've done a lot of pastel portraits.

Thank you, everyone.  That was the night I fell in love with fondant.  I LOVE the way it feels when you knead it - even better than yeast bread dough.  Took me a little longer to fall in love with gum paste.

It is painted with Wilton gel colors, thinned with alcohol.  I didn't have any petal dust....still don't have very much.  I am still new and still accumulating tools :o)  Notice the bright blue stamens.  It was the only dark color I had and never even thought about using coco, which would have been a lot better.
