sparklepipsi: A little floral progress! Banana butt petals + gem preview ~ yaaaaay sparklies!! :3  I’m not 100% happy with the bias tape on the petals, but I don’t think I’m gonna be able to get it to lay any flatter than this really… darn satin >.<;; BUT the bias tape does make the petals curve a little bit, which is kind of a happy accident cuz I think it looks pretty cute xD;; Still need to blind stitch the backside of the bias tape (and put bias tape on two more petals ;;) but yeah. :3 The gems have kind of a funny story because I spent a lot of time trying to dye gems, removes the backs and paint them, etc etc, in order to get them in the right green color… none of those methods worked, so then I spent an entire night looking online for 16mm gems in both white and green and was unsuccessful with that as well ;_;. I finally ordered some in green and bought some in Michaels in white, but they ended up being different cuts. I was just gonna deal with it but then Marissa pointed out the obvious solution … white gems + green sharpie = profit. It worked so well I feel like a moron for not doing it sooner, but ah well >w<;; Thanks Marissa! haha! Edit: after some pondering I think I will “straighten out” that back petal a little… it should probably be a bit more pointy. But that’ll have to wait til tomorrow. x3;; homg so beautiful!
