I bought two new books this week, both by Yukiko Miyai:
Clay Art for all seasons on Amazon
Clay Art for special occasions on Amazon
Like most other obsessions interests, this one began after a picture or blog entry on weddingbee. Then, searches on etsy, google images and any other site mentioned/linked to in what I found.
One of the most commonly mentioned sources for clay flowers/bouquets is DK Designs. They, and other sellers on etsy, have some gorgeous options (get ready for a lot of pictures):

I look at all of these pictures and can't believe they are made out of clay. Amazing! I also look at them and feel like they might be the perfect choice for my "flower" needs. But, pay $200-$300 for one bouqet? Um, no thank you.
So, I bought a couple books and am planning a trip to Jo-Ann's for some clay and other tools soon. Then I can try my hand at making some of these beauties.
But, it won't be this weekend. We have three parties to attend and I have a bunch of jello shots to create.
Am I crazy for trying to re-create something this elaborate? Did you know what kind of flowers you wanted from the beginning of your plans? Or, did you have lots of trials before settling on something?
