Flower Sewn of Shoe Flesh

Pictured below is the one spare piece of cloth that was left over after creating the Worry Doll neckpiece.

The stage by stage progression of the folding, rolling and sewing of the flower is the main point of interest, the evolution or growth, rather than the object itself.

At stage 1. the fabric has no real resemblance to floral forms.

At stage 2. the bud-like form of a flower is evident.

At stage 3. the 'petals' have begun to curl and open.

At stage 4. the bud has opened in full bloom, revealing the inner texture and colour of the inside surfaces of the petals.
