People ask me "How long does it take to create a silk rose?"
- "From a few hours to a few days'' - I reply

Each silk rose has its own character. Some roses are quite docile, they easily assemble step-by-step, petal after petal like making a dessert following a recipe from a cookbook Such roses can be made in 4-6 hours.

However, there are some roses that are capricious and whimsy like young actresses from French cabarets. They try on petal after petal, demanding their petals be made from luxurious, shiny and fine silks. Some roses capriciously require different coloring or different styles of petals... In that case I have to cut out new piles of petals, dye them in darker or lighter colors, experiment with flower making tools and sponges for creating perfect petals to suit and complement such roses.

I love making silk roses, so can you. If you are fascinated by silk flowers and would like to learn flower making skills - I invite you for your first flower making class with me. We'll start with an easy flower like "Sweet Pea". I'll show you simple steps so that you can avoid mistakes I made, a blueprint that you can easily follow and enjoy making your first silk flower !

I remember when I made my first silk flower, back in June, 2011. I had a lovely silk dress and I wanted to add a little beautiful touch to it, like.a brooch or a flower.At that time I discovered old books with patterns and photos of silk flowers, I was amazed and I wanted to try this craft.I didn't have proper silk, either dyes or tools, but I wanted to try it right away.

So, my first silk flower was a soft version, with no supporting wires, dyed with my kid's coloring set and instead of glue I stitched petals which gave more volume at the sepal area, which was difficult to attach to my dress. It was a disaster : )
At the end I didn't wear it but what a fun time it was discovering each step of creating my first silk flower!... and since then I literally lived in my working studio learning how to mix dyes, color different flower parts, shaping and assembling silk flowers. I've made tons of mistakes indeed, from time to time I felt frustrated until I figured out each step on the way with the help of my first teacher and my burning desire to learn this art.
If You are a creative person and if you are interested in flower making - I invite you to learn this fascinating art with me through video tutorials.

Testimonial on my PDF tutorial "Silk Rose":
https://www.silkflowerartist.com/rose-page-english

"This tutorial is AMAZING and exactly what I was looking for : explanation and demonstration of colouring and shaping step by step for flower dummies like me
Thank you for the good advice and even more for excellent work with this tutorial! I thoroughly enjoyed it, so much so that I will remake my leaves from satin fabric. I made my rose from habutai silk but leaves are made from cheap Indian silk, so they don't look as good as Rose.
I really admire your way of working, your immaculately and the beauty of your flowers. I found all your videos, even demo very useful, very glad I found your site! "

Recently I spoke with one of my new customers from the UK. 
She bought liquid dyes and my video tutorial "Silk Peony" in which I worked with powdered dyes. She asked me how to achieve similar coloring using liquid dyes. 

I often have this question from my students, so I decided to share this information with you too.

My advise : take a tablespoon of water, pour the water in a small jar then add a few drops of liquid dyes (depending on the final color you want to achieve).
Dye a small piece of silk you are going to make petals or any other flower part in the dye you've just mixed. Let it dry. Examen it and then decide if the dye needs to be deluded or more concentrated. Add more water if you want to achieve lighter color or add more drops of dyes if you want to achieve more concentrated color.
Get the idea?

and another good tip - if you want a more intense color - place to dry petals (or any other flower part) on a solid surface like glass or a piece of plastic or a sheet of metal foil. When you dry flower parts on newspaper the dyes go through the silk into the paper but if you you dry colored flower parts on a solid surface the dyes more likely stay on the silk. 

If this was helpful please leave a comment below.
Thank you

​If you find flower making art interesting and would like to learn how to make silk or leather flowers I have for you a great news!
​
To become a Master of the art you need the right tools, "HOW TO" information and indeed inspiration. To get inspired simply go to a nearby flower shop. The most amazing thing about nature is its infinite variety.
"How to" information is easy to get, the Internet is bursting with all sorts of courses and tutorials. Indeed, it can take some time to find the right source of information.

Flower making tools of excellent quality is a different subject.​ Let me ask you :
- Do you know anything about flower making tools?
- Do you know what's the difference between authentic and fake tools?
​
Let me show you a simple difference between different types of flower making tools.
​Proper tools should be made from stainless steel and ONLY (!) shaping balls should be made from brass. There is a strong reason for that.
Have you ever seen mechanical tools made from brass? I don't think you have and do you know why?
It is because tools made from brass bend and loose their original shape easily and a specially tools heated with electrical appliances as soldering irons.
Soldering irons are designed to reach a temperature range of 200°-480°C ​ Can you imagine what your flower making tool will look like after working and pressing it against a flower making sponge?
​
