Immortelle or Everlasting flowers (Helichrysum) are renowned since ancient times for their healing properties, Helichrysum oil was even mentioned in the Odyssey as Ulysses is gifted and bathed in the oil by Nausicaa, his strength, vigor and beauty returns.
I've used thick circles wool felt, (cushions for furniture legs) and covered them with silk fibres to fix them down and create these circles. Spiral and circle forms and emphasise continuity in the piece.
