But the tutorials. only served to get her started, because she soon realized that polymer clay wasn’t the right material for the degree of realism she wanted, so she decided to experiment herself and soon discovered that cold porcelain met her requirements. “The author of the works that impressed me was self-taught and my motto is ‘if someone else could do it, then so can I’,” Olesya said. “And that’s how it all began. But in the end the tutorials did not satisfy me, because everything turned out to be too decorative, and I wanted realism.” While experimenting, Olesya realized that in order to achieve almost perfect flower replicas, every little part of the flowers she was copying needed to be perfect. So she started taking every flower apart like a naturalist and making molds of every element, from the petals to the stamens and pistils, out of toothpaste. After making the molds, the talented artist creates the frame of the bouquet from wire covered in tape. Everything is then carefully coated in cold porcelain and assembled in the stunning arrangements you see. The masterpieces needed about a day to dry. Each flower that comes out of Olesya Galushcenko’s hands is one of a kind, and, if properly cared for, can last forever. She recommends keeping them out of direct sunlight and excessive moisture, vacuuming them and carefully wiping them with a damp cloth. Olesya Galushcenko is a hydraulics engineer who got into polymer flower making as a personal challenge. Seven years ago, during maternity leave, she decided to take on an artistic project that involved using her hands, and a decorative flower bouquet caught her eye. The artist was self-taught, so she refused to pay for classes and decided to learn the craft herself using free internet tutorials.
