I don't believe it. Although, for our production the petals needed to float up in a flurry rather than dropping off, so it is a slightly different effect. I dissassembled a fake rose. At the base of each petal was a small hole that fit over the stem. I replaced the stem with a piece of steel that projected up through the center of the rose. Then I strung each of the petals on a piece of monfilament and reassembled the rose. At the pivatol moment, we pulled on the string and the petals swirled off the rose. It seems like you could do a similar thing, but strung upside down and only release one petal at a time. On 10/3/05, Trish Place <tplace-AT-tconl.com> wrote: > > Hey all....
