Nope, but give it a try and let us know how it goes - there so many yellow to try - I suspect a pale one might work best.

I will have to try that. Would like to see what happens with yellow in place of the pea green as well.

And is that why my vines always look so crappy? 'cause I don't encase the srtinger? I have just started adding vine to my florals and have been routinely unhappy with the result.

Yeppers, encase your vine cane in a transparent - either green or clear and they won't bleed out so badly - plus they will appear thiner.

What a great idea. I thought you had made the center of your flower by applying a small murrini in the center. Thank you for sharing.

I prefer to think it's 1 or 2. Maybe I don't have any thing worth sharing.
I thought it was cool enough to think maybe i should go down now and pull a stringer like that so maybe I'm weird or a n00b or both...
