It's great to watch others do 3D stuff, then i think its a case of just playing with rpducts and giving it a go. Just remember to work very dry or you can't get the acrylic to stay where you want it.

There's a little well kept secret that art competitors don't tell all.
Things you don't see in technique videos.
Try putting a few drops-maybe 5-6 of straight acetone in your dappen dish of liquid/monomer and see what happens. The acrylic will become firm but stay workable for an extended period of time and allow you to mold and play with the petals and art work in acrylic-that did the trick for me. I had tried to do 3-d flowers for ages and it always either was too wet and I couldn't get the dimension I wanted or so dry it would set up.Give it a go and let me know if this works for you too!

Some good sites & tips!! (thanks NailNana was wondering why I was finding doing the petals difficult will give this a go)!! On the Kupa site it recommends using a No5 Kolinsky brush is this best then?
