Creating spiral flowers that can open up

Grasshopper
#1

Hey, what’s up [=
so I’m trying to shape flowers
that look like these kinds of pasta - Gigli

there are two challenges that I cannot figure out:

  1. How can I create the spiral flower shape (preferably, in a way that will enable
    me to control the sine wave ornament)

  2. How can I give the spiral shape flower functionality i.e. open it and close it like a flower?

thanks!

Hello sailor!
Please, consider reading this post about how to ask effective questions. The fact that you didn’t upload a .gh file or even a picture of what is your problem makes very difficult to answer.

Hi

For gigli-like shape, you could find inspiration in :

  • George L. Legendre’s book, Pasta by Design
  • David’s example PASTA geometry
