I've seen orchids made by many different people but I have never seen an instructional so detailed and so understandable.

Thank you very much for sharing.

the dried flower at the end has narrow arms and wide head and legs, whereas the one on the tutorial has wide arms and narrow head and legs. Which looks nicer?

Is this using sugar paste or gum paste :S

@cmfdo I looks like the "head" petal can be pressed to spread it out.

Very nice lifelike flower.
