This original Alstroemeria study explores how broad petals can be rolled into a compact cup. Its strongest design feature is the change from a pink throat to yellow edges, punctuated by small red and aqua accents.

Studio process notes
These are high-level notes from an original studio build. They do not present a complete printable pattern.
Plan the color transition
Keep the strongest pink and red marks near the throat while the outer areas become lighter and more yellow.
Fuse the broad petals lightly
A flexible fuse is essential because each component needs a deep cup rather than a shallow bend.
Roll the petal edges inward
Work from the base toward the tip and hold the curve until cool.
Build the stamen center
Use fine orange filaments and vary their height before closing the petals around them.
Layer for a compact bloom
Overlap the petals tightly and rotate each new piece to hide the joins.
