Bunch of Flowers (and Snail)

My wonderful mother turned 60 and retired this weekend, so to mark the occasion I gave a bunch of Iris' - unfortunately a crafty little snail managed to sneak into the pot.





I used a number of different designs to make this bunch of flowers; the idea came from a photograph in "The Encyclopedia of Origami" by Nick Robinson, the flower pot design came from "The Simple Art of Japanese Papercrafts" by Mari Ono and the Iris and Snail designs both featured in "Essential Origami" by Steve and Megumi Biddle
