Scott Wooley's dvd's are terribly expensive in my opinion! I didn't see anything but movie previews on his site. I need to start with the little package of cutters I have now and work my way up. I'm a dunce about gp right now. Never touched the stuff yet. But man, I sure love that peony!!!

CarolAnn -

You just need to take a GOOD class, get those basics under you belt. You will take off with it!

Ok Ladies,

I am here to tell you, that if you can get into a gumpaste class with Jennifer... JUMP ON IT NOW!!! She Rocks! icon_biggrin.gif I had never done any gumpaste work until the Louisiana class and the experience making the poinsettia, and peony was exceptional! thumbs_up.gif

I have not had much time to practice lately, but I tackled my first roses with a easy heart. It would have been nerve racking a few months back, but because I had a solid base to work from it went very well. If I can ever swing attending another class with Jennifer, you can believe that I will be there with my "tool box" in hand, and a huge grin on my face! icon_biggrin.gif

Thanks!
Pat

Hi Jeanne!

I do have a current class schedule, but not sure if I can post it here (I don't want to break any rules) If someone tells me I can, I will. Otherwise, you can e-mail me, and just ask for my current teaching schedule icon_smile.gif

Hi Daytona!

The first two DVD's that I have coming out very soon are on my choc. fondant and fondant techniques. If these go over well, my next one planned is on my rose, stephanotis and ivy.

That's as far in the future as I dare look for now icon_smile.gif

Thank you everyone for your reccomendations! thumbs_up.gif
Jennifer- I e-mailed you- And thanks so much for your willingness to share!

I like to play with gumpaste so I'm starting to "get it", but the assembly of the petals and leaves are a little tricky, and like you said, I want them to look as real as possible!

I have read that people steam their gp flowers to give them a shiny effect. Would I steam them like I would veggies or something or do I have to do something special to make it work?

You're welcome Mary!

I steam your foliage or flowers, simply put a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. Holding the flower about 10" above the water, hold it there for about 10 seconds. This will set the powders and also blend them. You also can use a clothes steamer. You just don't want to "cook" it....if the paste gets REALLY shiney, you've cooked it a bit to long icon_smile.gif

Hope that helps!
