What is Cold Porcelain?
Despite the name Porcelain, this
product is not hot-fired porcelain. It does not require heating on hot fire
because it gets hard by exposure to air only. The preparation is not expensive.
It is non-toxic and very easy to prepare. The product will last for years
without fading; even your grand-children will love them. You can make them at
home very easily. My Roses are way back the year 2002, the year I started doing
it, until now year 2011 they still look fresh and new.
Materials are within your reach. They are
available at your local groceries, supermarkets, hardware store, book shop, and
drug stores.
Make it a productive and enjoying hobby. It
gives joy to young and adults alike. You can even sell your products to your
friends, or accept orders for Weddings, Valentine’s, Debut, Anniversaries,
Birthdays or Christening keepsake give-away. Bakeshops can order from you
porcelain flowers for their cake-props displays.
Turn your hobby into business, your patience
and practice will be rewarded with incredible delicate Roses and Flowers that
will amaze everyone. Instead of being idle, have fun and start doing it.
