To implement the shape of the petals, I created a base star. For each additional layer, I copied, rotated, and scaled down the star so that the clockface was the largest star, and to add more petals in each layer. The design below is the initial design I created. 

I wanted each layer to have it's own thickness. I originally thought about each layer being cut out with fabric except the clockface, but after cutting the fabric, it proved to be too flimsy to support the additional layer underneath the plywood clockface. I wanted the clockface to be made of wood to get a nice etched engraving of the numbers as I really enjoy the engraved wood texture. 

I ended up changing my material to acrylic for the other layers, with varying colors (green in the back to represent the leaves). I used fillet to score each edge on the sides since the star is very pointed and the acrylic star could be used as a shuriken since it was already the same shape and sharp. 

However, I did not measure the clock kit properly, and the amount of layers of 3mm acrylic were too thick for the clock kit to fit in comfortably. To resolve this, I removed the red second layer and the yellow circle top layer, and replaced the yellow circle with a fabric circle instead. The fabric worked out nicely as it happened to ready "Sally forth" and my initials are SAL, so I based that on the center of the clock.

The unused fabric, red star, and yellow circle, were then combined to create a different clock just for fun.
