For Childe, I researched into different types of flowers that I loved, with colours and shapes that might harmonise with some of their sunglass designs. After choosing the flower, I researched into how it would grow and bloom in nature. Then I built a sturdy base for it to bloom from using bamboo from my garden and repurposed pieces of styrofoam.

Each petal was then individually built using felt and florist's wire, and attached to the base. The petals were arranged in a way that allowed my flower to mimic how the flower would open in the wild. I used things like mop heads and bath mats to get the different pollen-y textures.
