Prototypes

I simplified the rose by drawing the crescent shape. I repeated them by crescent shape to make it looks like a rose and pierced it on brass metal as you can see in figure 1 below. 

Figure 1- Mthethwa, F., (2020). Pierced plate, brass.

I wanted to fly press the rose in figure 1 but it did not work. 

Figure 2- Mthethwa, F., (2020). Punched plate, brass.

When making punches, I decided to make the crescent punch to try to make a rose. Since the rose does not look like the one in figure 1, I need to draw on Rhino CAD so that when punching on metal, it will look neat.
