Gelatin Art ( Gelatina Floral)

I first knew about the gelatin flowers from a Mexican friend. These flowers are made by injecting a milk based gelatin mixture into a clear jelly. Gelatin flowers originated from Mexico. Love at first sight and i tell myself i will try to make it one day! Finally, i managed to get the syringe and needles. After searching for some videos,  i tried my own. This is the end result of my first attempt, well this is not pretty but is a good start... i will polish up my injecting skills.
