Making a life size Dog Rose flower

[Goldsmith]

I prepared this photo sheet to answer another forum question, I don't think I have posted it on this forum, but apologies if I have.
This was a life size Dog Rose (Rosa Canina), made from 18ct. yellow sheet and 18ct red wires. The vase was hand blown for me by Siddy Langley and the enamelling was by Keith Seldon.

The photo shows my making process from design to finished item.

Beautiful as always, really interesting to see some of the stages of making, the bud, flowers and leaves seem more doable when shown like that, although any attempt I may try will not be a patch on yours, I do fancy trying it in copper, small though and just for the fun of trying something new
