MP: 3rd (and better) attempt at a Tudor rose

[txcraftnovice.livejournal.com]

this is actually my 3rd attempt (although only the 2nd FINISHED) at making a Tudor rose

there is still some adjusting I need to do, but since I plan on just tacking them down on a large piece of black ribbon, the slightly off-centered rings will be easily adjusted (their final part will be as an arm-band)

below is a comparison between my 1st attempt and the 3rd attempt; the one on the left is the 1st attempt, the one on the right is the 3rd attempt...I still need to work on getting the outer rings to stay pointed in the right direction, but I'm getting better at it
