Betsy, I've been trying to squeeze this into our schedule when my daughter was visiting from New England. She used to do origami pieces of jewelry. She also made cranes that covered her Christmas tree. Thank you so much for showing this beautiful exhibit at Lewis Ginter. The roses are amazing. I think this year is one of the best for them! ♥

What a treat for the eyes, flowers and sculpture together. Amazing to think of folding anything on that scale, then stabilize it for outdoor weather.
