One day we wandered through Mercado 20 de Noviembre. Large, clean and with a varied offering of goods including a large flower selection. The bouquet decorating is outstanding.
The flowers are made from Deco art air dry clay and are made by hand one petal at a time. In this spray are roses, sweet peas, stephanotis (with pearl centers), and hydrangeas. Each flower and leaf has been shaded with complimentary colors for a realistic and soft look and a flourish of pearls has been added. This piece measures 12" long.

Naturalistic jewelry, decorated with clearly recognizable flowers and fruit, was popular for much of the 19th century. These motifs first became fashionable in the early years of the century, with the widespread interest in botany and the influence of Romantic poets such as Wordsworth. Over time the floral motifs grew in size and scale, and by the 1850s bouquets had taken on dramatic proportions. Some of the flowers on this bouquet - a floral spray of roses, carnations and other flowers - are mounted on springs or 'tremblers' for drama, movement and sparkle. Individual flower sprays could be removed and used as hair ornaments.
At the same time, flowers were used to express love and friendship. The colors in nature were matched by colored gemstones, and a 'language of flowers' spelt out special messages.
In contrast with earlier periods, the more elaborate jewellery was worn almost exclusively by women.
The three leaf and bud sprays made about 1830 and added later. The design is similar to French work of about 1820-30, but a bodice ornament of this type was shown by Hunt & Roskell of London at the Great Exhibition of 1851.

Sorry about the crummy photo, just couldn't get the right light.
I am so chuffed with this cake, its a 10" fruit cake with my very FIRST floral spray. I was sooooo nervous about doing one of these as everything i learn is from books. I used books by Lesley Herbert and Alan Dunn ( i personally love his books, so easy to follow.)
Hope the client is pleased.
