The Exemplary 2026
Fritillary, Fennel, and Scarab by Helen Gottschalk
3rd Place, Non-Professional Non-Original with Instruction

This design by Jane Nicholas was published in the Inspirations magazine Issue 126. The fritillary flowers were dramatic and striking. The dimensionality of the piece, as well as the scarab provided a challenge. To make it easier to work, especially for the detached elements, I enlarged the design by 25%.
