Origami Flower Project -

At our last downline meeting Lyn led our group through making a beautiful origami flower. Here she is with part of the group as the concentrate on putting their petals together. It all starts our with 10 triangles - they do not have to be different but Lyn made them two different types so that we could tell easier which to put on the center and which to put as the outer petals. These were all made out of Whisper White cardstock. Half are colored with pad to paper direct to get the more solid coverage and the rest were stamped with Fifth Avenue Flower. After curling all three corners of each with a dowel - according to Lyn's instructions - I came up with this loose version of the flower - But Lyn was kind enough to leave her finished one, so that you can see how beautiful the flower can be when you do it right. I'll be practicing this one till I perfect it!Check back tomorrow to see how Lyn created an amazing Halloween bow using this flower.
