Sculpting Advice?

[MoonHawke]

I'm thinking about working on a custom tomorrow on my day off.  (Yay!) And I've been tempted to try sculpting a saddle with roses.

I've done a couple corsets, do i don't think the saddle will be an issue. But what advice can you guys give me on doing the roses? I've never sculpted anything of the sort before.

Thanks dears!

Thanks so much.

Not a problem! And good luck! Oh, and my own recommendation, cut the flattened circle/ovals in half. Full circle/oval roses stand up too high and it's a pain to cut the bottoms off once they are formed.
