First, deconstruction. Such lovely sets of twos and threes a la Fibonacci! Study each layer and the pattern. There are three sets of three, three sets of two, and two sets of one. Once you see that, the flower makes itself
Reconstruction 1-make doublette, rough cut size and shape of petals, rough cut leaves, fringe and make center (trim it to desired shape), fringe and attach stamens.
Reconstruction 2- color and shape petals while still tacky from making doublette (this makes them dry sculpted), fine cut and color and sculpt leaves, add support to attach stem, add the dried sculpted petals in sets (1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3) dipping the ends in hot glue, attach leaves, attach crepe to finish stem. Use #loveflorabeane when you make one!
Beautifully done, thank you for all the wonderful photographs.
What glue do you use to make the doublette? Gorgeous flower, and I love the science of your analysis!
Never used crepe only card stock. This is really pretty. Maybe I should give it a try. Thanks,
Fantastic!! Amity always does excellent work; and is a phenomenal teacher!! I absolutely love your paper, your 180 gram sculpt ability is incredible!!
