ROSE by Rashmi Vrajmohan

United States

What started off as a sketch quickly became a study of the rose. This design is a simplified version of the complex arrangement of petals in the flower......the inner folds being dense with the outer petals opening up, creating the fullness in the bloom. This design in intended to have an organic shape, following the outer contours of the petal, but also lends itself to being used in a rectangular or circular layout.
