Christy Sherman demonstrated how she makes flowers at our June guild meeting.
She showed us her process to make irises, roses, and calla lilies. 
Christy started with a Skinner blend and cut out the shapes. 
Here is the assembled flower. Notice the texture she added to the petals. 
Sometimes she will follow a diagram. Here is an an example she has on her phone. 
Here is a cut out petal and an assembled flower. 
Christy made 2 Calla Lilies and positioned them together. Makes a nice broach. 
These are some of the cutters she uses to make the petals of her flowers. They can also be cut out freehand or using a template. 
Rose assembled and petals shaped to look realistic. Some of the steps taken to assemble the rose 
Starting with a single petal wrapped around the center of the rose...

wrapping and distorting to fit together right. 
Here is a wonderful collection of leaves and flowers, tendrils and I think I even see a snake in there!
