It looks like Bren's at BrenLSStudio on etsy now, so you will find her there.

As far as a stand you could just roll a snake of raw clay and set your blade into that or make a fancy one, cut a slit in it and bake it.

I actually just slip mine under my glass cutting board, so I can see it, but can't get cut by it. Maybe that will work for you too?!

A million thanks back to you Sue, for all your support and comments at the blog and for being a great customer!!

Thanks, Cindy. I tried to find Bren's work on Etsy but no luck. The rose pendant you showed on your site was lovely. I don't know if I'll ever get to the selling stage (although my DH would love it if I did, lol) but I've sure learned a ton of great stuff from your site. Now that I'm signed up, I'm sure I'll learn even more.

Quick question: My straight blade came without a sheath and I'd love to make a sort of stand to keep it safely handy while I work. Have you ever done that or do you have any suggestion on how to to make one? I'm really all thumbs at sculpting (if it weren't for rubber stamps and transfers, I'd despair at my ability with PC!) and I don't even know exactly what I want, but some sort of stand thingy that keeps the business part of the blade covered while I've got it out would be terrific. Sorry to add to your work. Just thought you might have addressed this somewhere in the past.

A million thanks for all your help!

Cindy, your rose is stunning! If I ever get that good, you can bet I'll be selling PC roses on Etsy — and I will give you credit for inspiration and tutoring! I'm sure your mom loved it. It's always good to have something to aspire to!

Thank you Tannumoni for your questions! If your rose petals are very thin you may find they has less chance of burning if you bury them in a dish of cornstarch. The cornstarch under and over the petals will protect them from scorching.

Hi Cindy…

Your Rose is just perfect… I love making roses but they are not as nice as yours… and one big problem I run into is burning them… of course they are supper thin petals most of the time thinner then pasta machine setting #6… can you help me with the baking time please? How long should they be baked? My biggest worry is if they are not baked at the right temp or right time they can crack? Please help me…
Thanks :)

I absolutely adore this. Yellow flowers have a very special meaning to me and my father who died nearly 12 years ago. THis is such a wonderful idea, and, if you don't mind, I may have to try to make one for myself... I wouldn't sell it of couse :) Never an idea that's not my own.

Again, exquisite work. I'm sure your mother will adore it!
