Hi Sandy,
As Sharon suggested, i just did it, hammered the flower more flat. It spread
out and got to the size i had dreamed about. Its even nicer this size i
think.
You guys are brilliant to work with!!!!!
Many thanks
Ill settle down with this solution, and also use the see trough thread you
suggested.
Jahoooooooooooo
Many thanks
Bjarne

Bjarne,
I was just going to suggest the same thing - hammer them gently to flatten
them. Also, you mentioned gluing the glass beads - don't! They will be
popping out every time you bump into something. I would suggest using
clear monofilament thread to sew the beads on - it's very strong and will
almost disappear against the bead. In the U.S., it can be gotten at:

or:

It's at: www.Nancysnotions.com and is called Wonder Thread. It's a bit
hard to work with when hand sewing, but sometimes nothing else will work.
I love your work - it's gorgeous!!
Sandy

What beautiful work! I am in awe. If the silver flowers are too 3-D for
you,
can you gently hammer them, from the back, to flatten them? Personally, I
like them the way they are.

Hi.
Seems to me i can already say, its impossible for me to make nice even
flower spangels. I give up! I must be satisfied with the filligree
flowers. I uploaded pictures of this projekt, if you would like to se. I
would like your oppinion about these flowers, what do you think are they
two much?
The flowers on the tsars suit, are much more simple.
