I got the forming of the nylon petals down now.  

Preheat bulb in open air... a long time.  Place petal over it.  Wrap with a cotton cloth and stretch tight.  Wait 20 seconds.  Remove.

That just about does it for the petals I think.

I still need to generate a center cone which will be static and contain the Dotstar modules, but this is basically it.
