    Ok a new perspective.

    I worked a bit on a copper repouse to see if I could make that work, but there are just too many tool marks to make a good 3d. I worked on a 2in clay model and didn't like the results, but that is what I would do for a straight 3d rendition of the bloom. Tool markings for central cone and petal depth is right.

    But that makes me think that the thought of a campaign medal with an incised picture is the easiest first step. The incised area turns black when oxidized and the non incised gets a polish step.

    I have embedded a sketch of what that might look like - I did it oval and think round is fine, but looking for proportion and concept feedback.
