    @monaloren Hi Mona, in your case, because of the symmetry, Miranda is completely right and mirroring is the way to go!

    When you have a less symmetrical form like the one I chose, the Array Modifier saved me.

    Although, certainly Array and Curve Modifiers can be really frustrating, it is worth getting comfortable with them.

    In my submission for today ( for the outer part), I used a Mirror on the Z-axis, and an Array, set to 4, with an Object Offset and the Object was an Empty at the centre, rotated 90° around the Z-axis (disabling the default Relative Offset),

    Curve Modifiers are even trickier, and even I (now, that sounds like I’m an expert, which I am definitely not!) struggle with them most of the times, but you’ll get better at them with time.

    Anyway, you’re doing great, keep it up!
