Ann uses purchased fish scales soaked in plain water overnight to make them pliable. She learned this by trial and error. This gives her the advantage of shaping each petal. Next she prefers to paint the scales,\u00a0although dying them is another option. She uses 5 scales for each pansy and creates 4 different varieties. Fish scales can be shaped to create many different flower petals. For example &#8211; rolling a tight tube of scales and\u00a0clamping them till dry\u00a0will form\u00a0the\u00a0delicate center\u00a0of a rose.\u00a0 A special thanks to Ann for sharing\u00a0this fish scale flower petals technique.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seashellvalentines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/58-Pansies-052017.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-332\" src=\"http:\/\/seashellvalentines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/58-Pansies-052017.jpg\" alt=\"58 Pansies 052017\" width=\"435\" height=\"327\" srcset=\"http:\/\/seashellvalentines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/58-Pansies-052017.jpg 2592w, http:\/\/seashellvalentines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/58-Pansies-052017-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/seashellvalentines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/58-Pansies-052017-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 435px) 100vw, 435px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ann Stegner shares her technique for creating pansies from fish scales.
