Being a florist before, I have a keen interest in flowers. I enjoy making my clay rose pendants (www.preciousfindings.etsy.com) with polymer clay which I stumbled upon by chance. I was exploring different ideas with clay and thought about I could offer something for weddings (which always fascinates me). Since there are crystal bouquests these days, I thought it will be nice to add some clay flowers to these crystal bouquets but polymer clay will seem to heavy.
As I was looking around the internet for more ideas and materials, I came across an interesting clay known as " Deco Clay Craft" http://www.decoclay.com/. It is a Japanese creation and they even have an academy for it. The flowers are amazing. I discovered that there is a school here (http://www.foreverblooms.com.sg/FBDG/Catalogue.html) that conduct classes and workshops and decided to give it a shot! I learnt to make roses that looked so real. It was indeed awesome. Not easy but a great experience. It is a craft that requires a huge amount of patience as every single petal is painstakingly sculptured and put together. It took me 4 hours to make 3 roses. Can you believe that? The best thing about this clay is it needs no oven. You simply need to air dry it. Looking forward to antoher workshop soon to learn another type of flower. One of my greatest finds!
