Miniature bouquets and flowers

MINIATURE BOUQUETS & FLOWERS
All these flowers are made of Paper, Sand, and Wire in 1:12 scale.
This bouquet has Peonies, Ancient Roses, Ranunculus, Baby Breath, Lambs Ear Eucalyptus, and Dahlia

I tried to make the bouquet beautiful from any point of view. I made an arabesque with Eucalyptus branches to bring harmony into the composition. This makes the whole bouquet more readable. 

To unify and fix all the elements I applied Scenic Water
It permits little flexibility and allows you to pick flowers again without damage (if you are not too clumsy). The beautiful vase is from glasscraftUK.
When I took this photo I had a crush on it. I couldn't stop watching it again, and again... until I realized there were two important composition mistakes to resolve. The red flowers were creating a vertical edge that was taking too much attention. It was too even. 

By the other hand, I had to push inside the peonies to get a rounded silhouette. Luckily I hadn't applied the scenic water yet so I was on time to fix that :) 

You can find the final result up in the first photo of this page.
Here you can see how big is the bouquet. 
Next picture shows a bit of the process of creating the whole composition.


Every petal has been painted with watercolors. 
I have tested some different ways to made flowers to get the final look.

Thanks for watching.
