Studio process notes
These are high-level notes from an original studio build. They do not present a complete printable pattern.
Map the throat-to-edge gradient
Keep the darkest color close to the center and use the yellow rim to unify all five petals.
Fuse broad petals evenly
Move the iron continuously so the large components stay flexible across their full width.
Cup rather than fold
Raise the outer edges and press the center inward to create a shallow bowl.
Build the center column separately
Prepare the long pistil and small tip components before assembling the flower.
Overlap five petals
Rotate and overlap the bases, then insert the central column through the opening.
