Stamen<br />
Step 3<br />
Wrap yellow cotton<br />
thread around 1<br />
finger about 25-30<br />
times. Put a hooked<br />
26g wire around<br />
one end pinching it<br />
together. (you will<br />
need 3 groups or<br />
you can purchase<br />
ready made<br />
stamens)<br />
Petals<br />
5 petals for the first 2 layers<br />
& 7 for the last layer<br />
Step 4<br />
Wrap ¼ width white<br />
floral tape from the<br />
top over the hooked<br />
wire down a way.<br />
Cut the thread in half.<br />
Dip the ends into egg<br />
white then into yellow<br />
cornmeal gently<br />
shaking off excess.<br />
(Note: leave some in<br />
clusters stuck together).<br />
Allow to dry.<br />
Step 5<br />
Roll out gumpaste on grooved celboard fairly thin.<br />
Cut the petals out and place under plastic sheet<br />
while working on them. Insert a 26g wire dipped in<br />
egg white.<br />
Step 6<br />
Work on the celpad using the thinner end of<br />
a Dresden tool to pull the edges out fringing<br />
the tips. Add texture to the entire petal with<br />
Silk Veining Tool by rolling it back and forth.<br />
Do not widen the petal<br />
