My friend/student Sandy Wu from Taiwan designed this tape shredder that cuts tape in half and in quarters! Her husband makes them in Perspex so they look very cool as well as being very useful.
Essential to stop the paste sticking to my fingers! This material gives a fine dusting of cornflour.
I find it easier to work with metal balls tools - the weight makes it easier to thin the edges of petals and leaves.
Very nice fine scissors - comfortable to handle, essential for sugar flower art!
Curved scissors are also very useful.
Kitchen paper and/or nappy liner to make rings. They are great for drying and supporting petals, allows the paste to breathe and dry faster than resting in a plastic former.
This is a great tool for texturing wood/bark, but also great for creating the texture for a poppy bud, etc.
Great for beginner to intermediate sugar flower artists.
Great for more experienced sugar flower artists!
