I was just going to suggest the same thing - hammer them gently to
flatten them. Also, you mentioned gluing the glass beads -

something. I would suggest using clear monofilament thread to sew
the beads on - it's very strong a

What beautiful work! I am in awe. If the silver flowers are too 3-D for you,

like them the way they are.

Wow. Just wow. I can't wait to see the pictures of the finished suit.
From what I can see on my monitor, your flowers look like the tsar's. As
for too much, I don't think so- it actually seems kind of subtle and

Thanks for sharing the pictures and go enjoy that week

Try tracing the shape with a ballpoint pen. Press hard, while working on a

Instead of scissors, you could maybe try using tin snips. They can cut pretty
thick metal, so it might be easier on your hands to use those.
