The Original Recreation Project<\/h3>\n

This project started with the completion of the beaded garden. In researching that project I came across some pictures of the paradise gardens from Ebstorf. I was intrigued with the flowers and tried to find more of them, or at least more pictures of them. Eventually I found the museum in Mechelen and requested some pictures. I was sent some rather nice detailed pictures in response to my request.<\/p>\n

I stared at the pictures for many hours and eventually came up with some ideas. I collected some supplies and did some experiments to see what would work. It was rather slow going in the beginning.<\/p>\n

The first flower was the blue one on the right and I chose it because it did not contain any parchment. The original and my reproduction were very similar and I was inspired to try one that contained parchment.<\/p>\n

For the second flower I chose the one in the upper right corner which contained both kinds of petals. The third was from the top left corner and I decided to do it in a softer color rather than the red because the red seemed too harsh for the little frame. The red does look good in the full size shrine though.<\/p>\n
