We (very scientifically) mixed different batches in mason jars, dipped coffee filter test strips into them, and put the strips on a cookie sheet in the oven at about 250 degrees for quick drying.
Satisfied with the spectrum we created, we began with yellow flowers, moved to shades of pink, coral, and red, and ended with the oranges. The tree outside was the best place to hang them to dry.
But we decided to speed up the drying process for a few of them, just to get a better idea of the final product all together.
Fluffed, to speed drying of the inner layers.
Annnnnnd... Flowers! Now, I have to decide between merely fluffed:
Or fluffed with each petal curled at the edges. Much more rose-like, but also much more work.
What do you like best?
