learn how to flower paste pansies

Beautiful gumpaste pansies dedicated to my grandma

I dedicate this flower paste tutorial to grandmother, who past away Thursday.

My grandma  was small in stature, but giant in heart! Through her love of life and patience I learned so many valuable life lessons.

Her 101 years years were filled with rich and wonderful experience, and I thank her for sharing them with me!

Words cannot express the joy Grandma brought to everyone she came in contact with;  in her honor I share this gumpaste pansy tutorial.

My technique for pansies is individual wired petals, although you can build a pansy in a Celformer, I find wiring each petal creates a realistic look.

So lets have some fun creating beautiful flower paste pansies!
