6. You can shape the petals differently for an open flower or a closed flower. (Left side) more for a closed flower. Bend the petal up at the very base for a slight curve up. (Right side) more for an open flower. Bend the petal up then back for the S shape curving the top of the petal slightly back. Note: While shaping the petals hold it at bottom to avoid snapping it off.

7. Lay the petals on spoons which helps keep the shapes while drying.

8. To dust the top edges of the petals only dip the brush in the lavender tapping most off. Place the brush flat at the top brushing down adding a hint of color. Petal dusting a solid color load the brush heavy with purple or violet covering the entire petal. To make it two tone add the dark deep purple on the tips of the already dusted petals blending the colors together.

Wiring the flower:
9. Bend the petals back at base of wire.  Place 1 or 2 petals around the center taping with ½ width floral tape. Continue adding a couples petals at a time placing them close to each other taping completely around. Once a top layer is on start placing them just below for a full daisy. Note: You can tape down the wire after each wrap to secure the previous petals or continue taping around the top adding more petals.

12. Cup with the Dresden tool, pinch the tips, add egg white to the base then thread it up the wire molding around the base.
Note: don’t attach the calyx to the flower if you want to be able to move the petals around. Pull them back just slightly so they aren’t touching.
