It is very delicate but having the wood grain going in the right direction gives those fragile points more strength. I also try to make these sculptures so they can be disassembled. That way if something does break just the small part can be fixed or replaced instead of the whole piece.

Very interesting; for some reason made me think of a dragon, with its sort of mystical shape and the choice of colour.
Do you ever have trouble with the more intricate details and points of these flowers chipping easily en route to galleries and such?

Very creative. And neat to hear that they’re modular - could make for some cool “swappable” parts (think Mr. Potato Flower).
