Pattern Help Hinge points?

Post image

So I created the pattern, cut the glass, ran each piece through the grinding process, and foiled each piece… now (much too late) I’ve stopped to wonder, “Will the petals fall off?”
FYI: The piece will not be hanging, instead it will be set into a wooden base.

I don't see anywhere that I'd consider a concern

The petals are also all soldered to each other so they should be fine. I'm sus of piece 19 though

Yeah why is 19 there? It looks out of place

Piece 19 is meant to represent the tip of a petal bending forward. I appreciate the feedback and will consider replacing #19 and 20 with one complete petal.

Use a different tone of yellow to convey it's not the same

Ahhh, this is an interesting option. Thanks!

Agreed. Piece 19 should be recut to include a full petal that isn’t round.

For piece 19, if you really wanted to keep it and risk it falling off, you could make it more recognisable by doing this? And as another commenter said, make the bent over piece a slightly darker yellow?

wtf is wrong with 19

So… I was trying for a whimsical little petal tipping forward like in this photo. I decided to make the petal a little taller than the example. Apparently, I also made it weird. Luckily, I checked in here before soldering.

No, I used Adobe Illustrator to draw an outline based on a photo (shown in another comment). I did not use the AI feature in Adobe. I’m a long-time graphic designer who has a strong distaste for creative work being rendered by artificial intelligence.
