Actually, Norm, you're wrong on this one. Sorry.
Chris, I cut a series of circles progressing in size. Three circles total. I also notched a curved triangle out of the circle in five places spread out equally. This was done by hand and eye so its not exact, just a like a really rose. Then I sliced down the middle of each notch to about a 1cm away from the center. So that all the petals were still attached. Then I drilled a hole through the center.
After that, I formed the shape of the petals with my hands, and some body hammers. The petals were hammer over a leather bag, as well as dolleys. Then once I liked the shape of the petals I bent them all inword, I wanted each one to over lap. Then I soldered it to a copper stem.
Its a simple project that just takes some time. I'll be making a boquet of these for her next.
Hope that helps.
