Tilbage til dansk version You need a foxglove cutter - or you can use a round cutter and shape them - a small calyx/jasmine cutter, a dogbone tool, a veining tool, a small rolling pin/celstick, soft square brushes, gauge 33 and 20 wire, floral tape, and white gumpaste. Also a light and a dark powder color for the flower itself, and green powder color for the calyx. You can also color the gumpaste with paste color instead of brushing it, but brushing with powder makes for more lifelike flowers. Roll a small sausage and flatten it like a mexican hat. Roll it very thin. Cut your flower. Place the foxglove cutter so the small scallops touches the cone. Hollow with a dogbone tool. Hollow even more with your celstick. And vein. Bend a piece of gauge 33 wire in half and twist it. Make a tiny loop and fasten it to the flower. Make tiny dots on the large scallop and all the way to the bottom of the flower with a dark color. Brush on the outside with a light color - pink og purple are most common - and brush the edges of the inside as well. Cut out a small calyx and cup it with your celstick or dogbone tool. Glue it to the top and brush it green. Make a bunch more and also some buds - the buds are just small sausages dusted green and pink and put on a wire. The flower is assembled upside down. Start with the buds and tape them to a piece of gauge 20 wire. Continue with the flowers. Carefully bend the flowers and buds downwards and snip off the excess wire. And voila. A Real foxglove has more flowers than this, so just keep on making them. Back to tutorial index
