Step 1
|
Making the pistol:
* Colour a small amount of paste very soft yellow with #C429 - Egg Yellow blossom tint. * Mix a small amount of egg yellow blossom tint with powdered gelatin and set aside.Take a piece of #W20W - 20 gauge white wire, cut in half, and form a small hook on one end. * Roll the paste into a sausage shape, and thread the wire through to approximately 2 cm from the end of the paste; the wire should not come out the other end. * Model the top end of the pistol into a gentle, rounded triangle - mimicking that of a real lily. * Gently bend the pistol forward, approximately 1/2 - 3/4 of the way up to give realistic movement. * When the pistol shaping is complete; coat only the top (flat side of triangle) in piping gel and dip into the egg yellow blossom tint and gelatin mixture. * Set aside to dry. *It is recommended that you place the pistol into a Styrofoam dummy to dry standing up. |

Step 2
|
Dust 6 of the large white lily stamens using #C445 - Terracotta blossom tint. Place stamens around pistol as evenly as possible, filling all the spaces; tape stamen to pistol. Set aside. | ||
Step 3
 |
Colour your paste as desired and begin rolling it out thinly. To prevent sticking, roll paste out on a small amount of cornstarch. | ||
Step 4
|
Cut three petals using the medium sized cutter from set, then cut another three petals using the large sized cutter. | ||
Step 5
|
Place freshly cut petal onto the centre of the #FDV008 - double sided lily veiner, place second side of veiner on top - lining up the sides, and press firmly to achieve a veining on petal. | ||
Step 6
 |
Remove petal from veiner, place onto a flower mat, and gently thin and ruffle the edges of your petal using the #TMBM - medium sized metal ball tool. | ||
Step 7
|
Paint a small amount of water down the centre of the petal. Place a wire over painted line of water, and press to secure. | ||
Step 8
 |
Bend the wire slightly, giving the petal shape and movement. Place the petal over a 6” round styrofoam cake dummy and allow to dry. * Remember to dry your petals with the wire side down, as this is the back of your petal. | ||
Step 9
|
Once Petals have dried fully, begin dusting. Dust the edges, and along the centre vein/wire with fuchsia blossom tint #C431 *accent the petal as desired.* Next dust the veining/wire, base and tip of petal using spring green blossom tint #C454. |
||
Step 10
|
Mix a small amount of piping gel, #C425 - Burgandy blossom tint as well as #C431 - fuchsia blossom tint together in a small bowl using a toothpick. Dot this mixture onto the petals, staying closer to the base and the centre. Apply just a few dots per petal. | ||
Step 11
|
Assemble 3 larger sized petals around stamen/pistol, and tape together, ensuring that the petals are evenly spaced. | ||
Step 12
|
Assemble and tape the remaining 3 smaller petals in place. Tape to bottom of wire and pull the petals open to give flower appearance of being fully bloomed. |
