Designer Adenium Stem Sculpture 4 - Lantern

Among the Adenium (Desert Rose) Stem Sculptures I've created, the Lantern Design is by far the trickiest. It is perhaps the cutting or carving of the Adenium for the pattern you're after is not naturally intuitive. Without a design plan, or not following it correctly, you can have unwanted and, oftentimes, awful results. So what I wrote in this article was to simplify the planning and cutting processes that will yield the pattern you'll need to execute the design. And when you've successfully cut or carved the Adenium plant (photo below), you're in for a treat! (see inset)
