This established the shape. Then I marked the center of the top ring, and used the coarse sleeves of the large and small inflatable sanders to get down to the bottom of the petal. Then it's a matter of sanding the inside and outside alternately, and shaping the petal tips by eye until it's the way you want it. Extremely time consuming and demanding, so it really has to be spaced out over a number of sessions. I'm going to try to work up a slightly easier version for publication, since this one is too tedious for most folks--almost did me in!Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324249834681506315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908730744821622284.post-40915075120934361612013-10-21T17:38:52.454-07:002013-10-21T17:38:52.454-07:00Beautiful Carole!
