Take a deep breath and jump in! Here's a couple thoughts: don't rush it - enjoy yourself, spend as much time as necessary to get your forms setup and aligned properly - make sure you've got smooth, flowing lines, same for the sheer strips - make sure they follow a smooth curve from stem to stem. These early steps can seem like they take forever, but resist the urge to rush them. The second and subsequent strips will go much faster. Good luck, and have fun!
