New work: Overflowing lacy vase

This piece is a continuation of my series of vases with lacy cutouts. I started playing recently with using curved cutout shapes to form the lacy pattern, and this piece uses a similar type of cutouts. Before we get to the vase, here’s the mostly-finished lace pattern on the pre-creased paper:

The new element in this vase is that the lace flare at the top edge flows over the top edge and curves back down. Since the cut paper is so delicate, it was tricky to get that section to flip over correctly without ripping or folding over.
