Seeing marigolds

I've been working on some new stuff for the coming show at the World Masters Indoor Championships.  The official flower for the city of Kamloops is the Marigold and so I decided to make some lapel pins for the occasion.  I never thought of making these flowers before but I'm glad I have the opportunity as I love their deep rich colors.

I made these by first creating a cane and then sculpting out the petal shapes after slicing.
