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.
