Experimenting with petal designs

I have created a pencil skirt which I plan to design with petals. I have used newspaper as a template and experiment by pinning on and photographing them from a variety of perspectives. 

I think it is important to experiment first before choosing something final, by using templates and pins it gives me the option to mix it up and move them around. My original idea is to have them all the way around and then gradually getting smaller towards the bottom section of the skirt. 

Petals cut out ready to pin on skirt: 

Small.             Medium.            Large.   

After experimenting with a few designs I have decided to create large petals with images of flowers inside the plastic material, I believe this links into my previous kneck collars.
