DUTCH ARTIST WHIPS UP FLOWERS- OUT OF SUGAR

Oznell — Mon, 07 Oct 2024 22:28:37 GMT

....and they really are made of sugar paste! Her work is astounding.

Natasja Sadi is a Dutch floral artist and bridal wear designer of Indonesian and African descent, who emigrated to Amsterdam from Suriname with her mother at the age of four.

She has always been influenced by artists Rembrandt and Vermeer, among others, as well as natural blossoms, and lives and creates in an old canal house in Amsterdam.

These below are all made of sugar, astonishingly.

The delicacy of a single blossom...

Painting them--

She then likes to display them in old blue and white Delftware:

Can't imagine how intricate they must be to make. Natasja says that they take "a long time". I guess so!

She does offer a master class in Amsterdam, and has a book as well:

Such artistry is inspiring.....

Beautiful! Amazng how real they look!

I knew a woman in my art class who was fond of taking many different types of art/craft classes and one of them was making sugar flowers. She made some very beautiful pieces.

@Oznell

Wow!

I wonder if they are really delicate/fragile and how long they last?

Even zooming in it is hard to believe those delicate beautiful flowers are made of sugar.

@Sakuya She is using gum paste, not raw sugar.

She is an incredible artist and while there are instructions everywhere on the technique none compare to her exquisite talent.

@Oznell Those fowers are absolutely gorgeous! They are amazingly realistic. How talented that lady is.

I had never seen flowers made from sugar except for the usual ones that you see on cakes. These blossoms are so unique.
