I was so blessed by the flowers in my garden this past summer, something about the combination of colors and shapes gave me great joy, and I wanted to sculpt it to keep with me always.
This polymer clay slab is made in a rather different way: first you bake the flowers separately, then arrange them on your background slab.
You have much more creative freedom doing it this way, as you can arrange, re-arrange and even try out a variety of backgrounds before committing to a design.
