2015-3-22 Fantasy Daffodil
This is a coffee filter flower. First I mixed yellow petal dust with vodka to do the edges of the petals. A learning experience for me. Now I know that the petal needs to be damp to evenly blend in the added color. I applied it to dry petals, and, well, you can see how the edges look, blunt mostly, with some running of the color down the petal. The yellow that I used looks orange here. Then I lightly sprayed it with the Wilton yellow food spray color. Mainly because I did not want to go to all the trouble of setting up my airbrush! lol I enjoyed making this one, and will be doing it again! I didn't get out the glue gun either, just used the hand stapler and a glue stick. Got the pattern from the internet. When I found out that I had 2 filters stuck together on the base, I separated them, and added the color. It is a fantasy flower after all! lol

Thanks guys!! I doubt if the wafer paper could ever be made to look so uniformly ruffled! Or, at all, really! When I tried to dampen it enough to be able to toll it back some, for the edge of a rose, it just stuck to itself, flattened out too, so there went the 'roll effect'! lol Went to town today & got a bottle that would 'mist', s now maybe I won't get them quite so wet! lol Thought I had one, but couldn't find it anywhere!

Oh, didn't realize this one was coffee filters, too. Thought it was wafer paper. Yeah, definitely like the coffee filters better! Still like your color, though :o) I, too, did the tissue flowers about 100 years ago. I can remember a bunch of us making them for our graduation party when I was in 12 grade.
