A GIFT OF LOVE

This morning I arrived at my desk to find a beautiful long stemmed red rose standing in a vase. This rose was the same one that my wife received from the restaurant when I took her out to dinner last night on our Valentine Day's date. We had a wonderful time and a great meal. I hope that you are as blessed as I am.

Here is my rendition of the Rose in GollyGee BlocksĀ®.

How I made it: I first tried individual petals using a flattened dome. That didn't work out to well. Using some problem solving ideas, I then decided to use multiple domes superimposed on each other, each slightly moved to simulate multiple petals. This worked better. I stretched and tilted the domes and then using another stretched dome scaled, copied, tilted, turned and positioned them to be the leaves. The stem of the rose is a cylinder elongated sitting on a dome.

I tried this in wire frame mode to get the vase to look like the transparent glass it is. See what you think.
