Not sure what software you're using, but it can be a challenge and a little time consuming. Lots of layers and warping then shading/highlighting. Lauren and I teach it in our 311 PS/ 361 PSE classes.

I always say look at the real thing closely, careful observation, break it down to basic shapes

All the DSU classes now are open for registration at all times, and you can choose the month you want in the drop down list.

Let us know how it goes!

I'm so excited to know that I'll learn this in 361...but I wish that I had read this about 3 hours ago...I've been trying to do it on my own.

I WILL LEARN TO TIE A BOW!!!!!

OMG!!! I'm totally freaking out, I made a BOW!!!! That was honestly one of the most challenging things I've done in a while. I took Emma's advice and made a real bow and went from there.
