..in the making.

After experimenting with different shapes and different curved edges i decided on a basic shape that i was going to repeat to create my final 3D sculpture. 

i measured out a template and used it for the larger sized petals for my sculpture. After i had created a few of these i decided to make the template smaller and carried on making the template smaller to create more of a flower shape. 
After all the petals were attached together and left to dangle, the shape looked something like this...

I then started at the smaller end of the petals, and curled the sculpture up inside its self, this automatically created the flower like shape.
I feel that the tabs i used to attach the separate sections together add to the structure and show more definition to each petal.
After making several of these flowers, varying in size, i attached them all together to begin the final production. 


 This is a picture of half the finished piece, just to show how the structure takes form when all the pieces are attached together.
