First class of course 2

So tonight was my first class of course 2 and it was fun. It was a small class, in my course 1 there was 16 of us and in this one there is 5 so a lot of people dropped. anyway we learned 2 new boarders and 2 flowers, the one flower is hard for me its called "Chrysanthemum" not as easy as a rose well for me. So this flower is kinda hard but I think it might have to do with that we use buttercream frosting and your suppose to use royal frosting. So for the flower you need a flower nail with mum template and tip 5 for the center of the flower and a tip81 for the pedals. you make a dot in the center of your nail about the size of a junior mint then with tip 81 you squeeze pull out let off and lift up you do about 6 layers the same way but get smaller each layer. I had a real hard with it. So one of the boarders we learned is a reverse shell where you take a tip 21 and you keep the tip of it off the surface just a little and squeeze till it fans out then lift up and make a number nine and let off and pull then you do one facing the opposite way they are pretty easy. The other one we learned is called a "Rosette" which kinda looks like a flower. this one you use a tip 16 and you make a dot "pretty good size one, make sure it looks like the star" and with out lifting up on your bag you go to 9, 12, 3, and 6 then stop squeezing and pull back to 9 so basically you make a circle and I found it a little harder than the shell but still not to hard. the other flower we did was a Rosebud and I found this one pretty easy and my teacher thought that was kinda funny because I have a hard time with the easy and easy time with the hard stuff. But The class was fun!
