Lotus flower (clay miniature)

I made Lotus Flower for my mom (I asked my Aunt to bring it to Hong Kong to give it to my mom). My mom received the flower so that means I can post the pictures up now!

It took me probably 7-8 hours to finish it.
I made two lotus flowers (one blossomed, one haven't blossomed yet), 4 lotus leaves, 2 koi fish, and some stones around the bottom). They are all made out of clay. The water you see in the bowl is just some kinda gel..


Close up of the Lotus Flower:The 2 little koi fishy swimming side by side =) !

The lotus leaves.. You can see I kinda make them look wilt 枯萎左少少. I absolutely love the way they look, the wilt part make them look more real, so satisfied with the result of the lotus leaves. And that drop of water on the lotus leaf makes it looks even more real. *LOVE* =D

This is how big the flower is - smaller than the size of a palm.
