Tough to design from anywhere but YOU, since you're the one who knows what you're trying to end up with. A suggestion, though ... I really thing your flowers will look more natural if you bevel the lead petal the other way (lines marked in red beveled TOWARD flower center) and use a little smaller stop tool.

IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

Actually, it's Jeff ... and I should mention that the shading and the "decorative" cuts look GOOD.

I agree I would lose that stop tool I have yet to see one that looks natural to me. bevel the other way and as far as drawing paterns you are on your own I cant hardly draw my own name so when you get it all figured out let me know.

Cowboy,

You are a better artist than I am. I just know the whole Sheridan pattern is based on circles with the flower being the center of the circle, and the vines and leaves being the connecting devices in a flowing pattern. Sounds easy, but it gives me fits.

Loose the stop, completly wrong made and unnatural looking. Correct the beveling. Use a cam tool and make lines radiate out from the flower center. Your decorative cuts are great, that is one of the hardest parts.

I like that much better. One step further with the lines you reversed ... when you cut the design, make the lines you changed PART OF the foremost petal ...

Instead of this ...

This ....

And maybe a little wider, to help with the illusion that it's closer, so that you have this ...

Or, short version, something like this ..

Here's my take on drawing a Sheridan flower. Others may do it differently than I do, and my drawing kinda sucks, but hopefully you will get the idea....

Step one:

Step two:

Step three:

Step four:

Step five:

This is just a basic Sheridan flower. Joining two or more together is difficult to explain...

If anyone else has something to add, please feel free!
