Hello All!
A friend loved the way the White Lotus Clock looked, and wanted something on similar lines, but with a twist. She sent me the image below, asking me whether it was possible to merge this image with the technique of the White Lotus Clock.
This was a tough one! The technique of the White Lotus Clock works best with single paper strips, and hence comes out in a single color. Creating something like the sunflower image above would involve using smaller strips of multiple colors, glued together and then spread out in the given pattern.
I decided to give it a try, and came up with the idea of using 3 strips, brown, dark yellow and light yellow, each of 2 mm length, glued together end to end to make one longer strip. These strips were then put together in the pattern of the White Lotus Flower.
Here is how the project looked like half way through -
About a hundred such strips were made, joining smaller strips of brown, dark yellow and light yellow together. In the end, this is how the clock came out -
I loved the gradation of the colors, the meticulous work and the patience in making it did pay off!
The friend loved the clock which she gifted it to her cousin as a house-warming present :)
Cheers!

Multiple smaller strips = more delicate work = more change of messing things up :)
