oooo...thats nice! It looks like you wove them together?

they are all just twisted together in the middle, it's arranging them afterward (pulling this part up and that part down) that makes it look more intricate. It's hard to describe what exactly to do with them but look at the picture once you have them together (it's just figure 8s with 260s) and push/pull them into place.. the different colours help to see what's going on.

haha thanks! that looks great! i'll have to study it to figure out exactly how you did it.. but thats a great help!

the ones i do are like those "bird body" types looks great in tiny form.. but when you make em big they suck.

you could even stick something like that or just a small 5 petal flower in the middle of this one to make it that much more... once you get going on the pattern of what goes where with this one, it's the same all the way around.

Try as I might, I cannot get the hang of the woven flower. It is driving me crazy, and I have watched countless videos and read written instructions.
So I am impressed with anyone who can do it!

I also do the bird body rose, I like doing it more than a petal flower.

I'll see if I can throw a video together of this one... it's been a while since I made it though

If you watch this thread and he will show you how to make the top of the rose, or in the case of this youtube video, princess belle's skirt
