With the brooch sunflower being too large I tried again hoping to make the right size sunflower. I left the centre of the flower blank so that after I made my mould I could try to texture it in wax. I stippled the centre of one sunflower in wax (as seen in Figure 1) and textured a second sunflower after casting with a tiny ball bur(as seen in Figure2).

My second attempt was still too large so I decided to use the medium size sunflowers as pendants. I wanted to bring in some colour so I used the same beading technique for my wearable pendant. Except I used back and yellow-orange to try to match the colours of a sunflower(Figure 1). The second sunflower I chose to add onto a chain to keep it simple(Figure 2).
