The majestic black rose
This the third series Learn How to Create a Gumpaste Life-Like Rose. In the first two series we completed a rose bud and a partially open rose (the transition phase).On the last video we had taken the rose buds to transitioning from a closed bud to showing their petals.The next stage I will show how to begin to curl your rose petals backward towards the stems as they open and my method of dusting the rose to achieve the intense color.
Once the petals have been added and coloured you will see your rose go from mysterious to majestic. Your rose is open and at this point you can choose to add the calyx and leaves for a spray or you can add more petals. I prefer to wire the last nine to eleven petals; which I will show how in the next series.
