Tribute - a photo on Flickriver

A last tribute to my dearest mother-in-law, who passed away in her sleep last week. She had been ill for some time.
I folded this bouquet of flowers (with the help of a friend to finish it on time), representing her (she is the sunflower), her children with their partners (the roses) and her grandchildren with their partners (the stars).
We will miss her very much.

I will be absent from Flickr for some days. Take care and see you later.

Final size of this origami flower arrangement is about 70cm.
It contains the following models from top to bottom:
