Shapes: Petals

Work the Petal Shape by taking a diamond or box pathway and adding a controlled spin of the fan at each corner. This turns the clean angular trace into small looped “petals” that read clearly to an audience while keeping the underlying shape intact.

Nikki Scarano frames petals as an embellishment layer you can apply to familiar shapes, helping you practise timing the rotation to specific points in the pathway and refining consistency from corner to corner. You’ll also hear petals referenced as “flowers” for later study.
