I think your experiment turned out beautifully! The soft vintage colors give the flowers so much character, and honestly, they make the little imperfections feel intentional. Sometimes those unexpected changes end up creating something even more unique. I love that you didn’t give up and found a creative way to make the flowers your own. :heart:

Aww, thank you so much! :face_holding_back_tears::two_hearts: I actually used a paint with really good coverage, so it didn’t take many coats. The hardest part was reaching all the little corners inside the flowers.

Thank you! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::heart: I agree! It actually started as a way to hide a few imperfections, but in the end it made the whole build feel much more personal.

You are not alone by the way. I am not a big flower fan as I tend to be a little too heavy handed as well. I too learned the hard way. If I do make these I wax every tab petal and sand if needed. That has greatly helped with my success. but that does not mean I choose to do them often!

Thank you so much! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::heart: They were definitely trickier than I expected! I wish I’d thought about sanding and waxing before I started. I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future Rowood builds. Thanks for the tip! :cherry_blossom:
