Casting Flowers in Plaster

This weeks challenge is 'new'.
During lock down I've discovered a new activity, or perhaps I should call it
a new obsession - casting flowers in plaster.
The flowers I used here are Pyracanthus and Brambles.  The Brambles are vigorously growing in my front garden and although they are a menace I do love the blackberries they produce!

    1. Thank you Riita - you press flowers into clay, remove them and take a cast from the clay using Plaster of Paris. It's very addictive!

  2. Oh, that's a great idea to make flowers that don't wither! I believe that's very addictive indeed!

  7. I've tried researching this but have found no answers. What type of clay do you use?
