I decided to do the wingtip first so I could see the shapes and colors. The wingtip flowers are small and require utmost precision. Even cutting slightly outside the line on one flower and slightly inside the line on its mirror image would result in two flowers that are obviously different sizes. The piece for the inside of the flower must also be cut accurately; it needs to be big enough to cover the decorative shape cut into the flower but small enough to not hang out the edges.

Also, glueing on a flower that’s simultaneously under the olive band and over the olive band is a little fiddley.
