Midori has been intrigued by fold-forming, so this week she brought in some templates she had made of folded paper flowers, to be made in copper.
She hammered in the veins of the petals, then folded each one in half, hammered the edge, then opened back up and folded the petals downward. Wow!
Midori made 2 flowers, and created center "stamens" which she drilled through the copper and bent and soldered to the back of the flower. She then soldered each flower to a tube in the back for hanging from a chain or pinback. Lastly, she set a marquis-shaped citrine in one of the petals Amazing work, Midori!
