Whispering Rose
In the heart of a secluded garden, where sunlight filtered through the leaves and cast dappled shadows on the ground, a unique rose bloomed. Its petals were not the vibrant hues of red or pink, but instead shimmered with an ethereal glow, as if woven from moonlight and stardust. This was the Whispering Rose, a creation of enchantment and artistry.

Instructions:
- Prepare the silk: Begin by cutting out the petals from the enchanted silk. The petals should be slightly larger than the desired size of the finished rose, as they will be gathered and shaped during the construction process.
- Create the rose: Gather the petals together, overlapping them slightly, and stitch them together at the base to form a rosebud. Continue adding petals, shaping and stitching them until the desired size and fullness of the rose is achieved.
- Add the whispering enchantment: Once the rose is complete, carefully thread a thin strand of silk through the centre of the rosebud. This will serve as the conduit for capturing and playing back whispered secrets.
- Encase the rose: To protect the delicate silk and preserve the whispering enchantment, carefully encase the rose in a layer of clear resin. Allow the resin to dry completely before proceeding to the next step.
- Create the vial: Fill the small glass vial with a mixture of rose oil and dried rose petals. This will add a touch of fragrance and visual appeal to the finished Whispering Rose.
- Attach the vial: Securely attach the vial to the base of the rose, using a thin wire or ribbon.
- Complete the Whispering Rose: Once the vial is attached, your Whispering Rose is complete.
Tips:
- To capture a whispered secret, simply speak into the centre of the rosebud. The silk will vibrate, capturing the sound waves and storing them within its fibres.
- To play back a whispered secret, gently touch the centre of the rosebud. The vibrations will be released, recreating the original sound.
- The Whispering Rose is a delicate creation and should be handled with care. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this may damage the silk and the whispering enchantment.
- The Whispering Rose is a unique and personal gift, perfect for sharing cherished memories and secrets.
