So here it is! Two days worth of work.

I really love how this piece gives the royal feel...

I had so much "play" while trying to make it... at one point I just thought that it won't turn out, but luckily it did!

My patience was on it's edge when I had to wait one day for the first three rows to set with the rice glue to add the last row on the next day, and then waiting all day to be able to add the leaves on the wire and prongs at the very end. What a good thing that it dried all today...

Measurements:
flower: 8cm in diameter
leaves: 3.5cm each
prongs: 12cm

Habutae silk, pearly stamens, wire
