About the author

My name is Elena Bain. I have worked as a silk flower artist since 2010 when I discovered that a simple piece of fabric can be transferred into a realistic silk flower. I have created custom silk flowers for individuals and companies, published almost 50 tutorials, taught individuals and groups of students. I designed every silk flower for the New York Millinery collections 2014-2017 with an extraordinary milliner Anya Caliendo. You can find my silk flowers in the permanent "Cutting Edge" Expo at The National Museum Of Scotland.
I'm delighted to share my knowledge and help you become masters of silk flower art. The aim of my "Crash Course" is to bring flower making secrets to your doorstep, so that you can learn ​how to capture the beauty of natural flowers.
​My new course is designed for absolute beginners in silk flower art, for those who have never made any silk flowers, for those who do not know where and how to start, as well as for those who tried making silk flowers with free information on the Internet but didn't achieve the desired results.

The "Crash Course" helps Beginners in silk flower making learn how to become masters of the art, so they can avoid disappointments and mistakes as a beginner ​and start creating exquisite silk flower accessories as a hobby or career.

In exchange for sharing your feedback about the "Crash Course" (and providing testimonials if you enjoyed it), every student from the first "Crash Course" will get more personal access to the teacher and pay for the course an early bird price: CHF 199, instead of the CHF 399 that the course would cost when it completed. 
​I will do my best to share my knowledge in silk flower art and help you to become a silk flower expert at the beginner level.

In the second week we are going to talk about color. If you don't have professional dyes for silk flower making - do not worry: you can use simple watercolor ​dyes to complete the task. The main aim of the second week is to unfold the color theory so that you can understand and apply it for your silk flower projects.
​If you don't have flower making tools - here you can find a good offer for your first flower tool set:

If you are still uncertain - look at this beautiful silk rose. It is done with only three flower making tools !
