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

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?
