A huge "thanks" to the magnificent Château de Vullierens for its spectacular gardens, one of Switzerland’s most remarkable heritage sites where I get my artistic inspiration
Inspired by blooming Irises in the Chateau Vullierens gardens, I decided to replicate a yellow-blue Iris from silk. If you love Irises my step-by-step video tutorial is for you!
From this video tutorial you will learn how to artistically dye every flower part : sepals, inner & outer petals, "beard", leaves, flower stems that look real. I share how to shape petals, how to make a fluffy "moustache" and how to assemble all parts of the silk flower Iris:

Really?
Yes, this IS my very first silk flower I made in 2010

By that time I didn't have special silk for making silk flowers nor knew how to prepare silk before cutting out flower parts. This particular rose was made with silk I starched with basic ingredients I had in my kitchen.

True love exists - read this beautiful story from my lovely client Helen:

"Dear Elena,
Let me tell you my story of the white Camellia: more than 20 years ago, my husband-to-be, mailed me to my work a box with the most beautiful and perfect pair of white camellias from his garden with a love note. I still have them, but of course, the flowers turned brown and dry...
Anyway, 3 years later, when we decided to get married, we design our own wedding invitations, and of course, we chose a picture with two white camellias! And after all these years, when I see a white camellia, I go to that moment when I opened that little box…
So now, thanks to you, I can finally immortalise the symbol of our union!
My best regards,
Helen"
