Herbarium

HERBARIUM

I really like to press flowers. I make from these for example bookmarks and gift cards.

Because the description writes: 'Your floral arrangement does NOT have to be three-dimensional', I chosed a unique flower arrangement, a Herbarium.

The old, rusty, chipped edge scissors are movable and made from royal icing. I will share a tutorial on this soon.

The Herbarium features three wildflowers.
* Poppy (Papaver rhoeas)
* Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus)
* Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla)

MEDIA TYPES
* wafer paper
* corn silk
* edible black marker
+ (royal icing: scissors, soil)

The decoration is on gingerbread.

POPPY
* wafer paper (petal, flower bud, immature seedpod, flower stalk, leaf, tape)
* corn silk (stamens)
* edible black marker (bouquet drawing)

CORNFLOWER
* wafer paper (petal, flower bud, flower stalk, leaf, root, tape)
* corn silk (root)
* edible black marker (bouquet drawing)

CHAMOMILE
* wafer paper (petal, flower bud, flower stalk, leaf, root, tape)
* corn silk (root)
* edible black marker (bouquet drawing)

BOUQUET DRAWING
* edible black marker

Oh, dear Gabi @Icingsugarkeks! You are always SOOO kind! Thank you very much! HUGE HUG

Unique creation, awesome as you always do, love it it's simple gorgeous 👏👏👏

So amazing.  This is so beautiful, and realistic.  The scissors are perfection.  All thumbs up on this unique, lovely work!

Ok, I’m speechless dear Timea. I can’t find the right words to express my admiration for such an amazing presentation. I love how you related it to what you love doing besides cookies. You included all the little details, the old paper, the tape over the little sample , the rusty scissors and dust!😱

Absolutely gorgeous!👏👏👏♥️

Really beautiful and unique. Thanks for sharing your technique. 

Timea, I knew you were going to mesmerize me with your entry.  These are far beyond what I could think of.  You are amazing.  Stunning. 
Did you also make the scissors???  My goodness.  

Muy bellas 🌷

Your are correct, entries do not have to be three-dimensional. Your flowers are stunning. And this is such a creative way to display them. Thank you for your detailed tutorial. It not only shows us how you created your masterpiece, but it also shows how much detail went into creating it. And those scissors look amazing, but adding that they are movable - now that's impressive.

Amaking, Timea! I don’t think I’ve ever seen wafer paper used as beautifully.

Wow. Beyond cool!❤️

Amazing and unique! Dear Timea, you always come with a spectacular masterpiece. Thank you for the mini tutorial.@PUDING FARM 🌺🤍💙
