With a fresh pair of eyes, Beth Rose took Hans-Werner Guth’s geometric flower (click HERE for instructions), and thought of a way of transforming it into a new and different design.
Here are Beth Rose’s instructions* for converting the single flower into a multi-layered origami rendition of the Australian Waratah:
- Made from different sizes of Hans-Werner Guth’s lovely Flower Pin.
- For the petal sections, the base corners were sunk to make the blossom rounder.
- For the leaves, the points of the petals were left spiky instead of rounded.
- The pieces were then all stacked together and sewn like a Kusadama.
This is a great example of how the creative process doesn’t need to start from scratch, but it can be the act of making a connection between two existing concepts. And what a great connection this is. Bravo Beth Rose, and thank you for sharing your origami design with us!
How many of Hans’ basic flowers do you count on Beth Rose’s waratah?
