For the central drop, use a detailed fringe technique to add flower cups in a denser pattern.

The pin that keeps the clip together works itself out every time you open and close the clip which makes it very unstable. The light is also very dim for helping with detail and close work. Not as high of quality as I was hoping it'd be.
