TickledPinkPetals is new to the Ebay community but, I've been hand-sculpting bread dough roses for the past twenty years. It began as a hobby for me when my children were babies and now that they're grown, they've persuaded and convinced me to share them with others.
When asked, "What are they made of " ... People are always quite surprised when the answer is 'bread' .. It's actually dough, that begins from a single loaf of bread.
These are completely prepared from scratch.. No machines, molds, forms or presses are used in their creation ~ but plenty of kneading, sculpting, time & love ~ 100% hand crafted from beginning to end.
The next question asked, is usually - "can I eat them?" .. and the answer is "no"... unless you like the taste of glue and paint!
*i've found, not many people do!*
The composition of each rose, really is bread! When I began, the blooms were quite small, and with many years of practice and much tweaking of the dough formula ~ my blooms have blossomed into what many people say are quite, realistic!
The next question asked is, "How long do they last?".. and I tell them, I still have my very first buds, blooms and blossoms ~ so they do last quite a long time with normal handling.
Recently, I was asked; "Do they mold?".. and "What do you seal them with to prevent this?" .. "No" they do not mold, or mildew in any way... And I do not use a 'sealer' of any kind. These are completely 'dried' and 'hard' to the touch. I refer to them as "resin-like" roses, and someone recently commented, "They appear porcelain-like" ... There is an 'acidic' element added to the dough that prevents any and all breakdown of the rose over time. Family members still mention, after 10 & 15 years.. they still have the roses that I gave them ~ And I'm so 'tickled' and impressed after all this time, but think... "Wow, my roses have evolved so much, in that time!"
When asked about cleaning, all that is required, if ever... would be a light dusting with a blush brush or small paint brush. Immersing in water is not advisable as these are water soluble, due to the binding agent.
Rest assured ~ Your TickledPink Rose will most definitely stay in bloom for many, many years to come!
