This scene features swans swimming in a pond on a
beautiful summer night. The full moon showcases the flowering shrubs along the
path leading to the gazebo. The pond was constructed primarily from beehive and
filled with layers of blue delphinium petals topped with a few maidenhare fern.
The larkspur swans have beaks made from tree bark and banana peel. The ripples
on the water are onion skins. The fall leaf pathway is decorated with
multi-colored and dyed bridal wreath as well as heather, blue salvia and
larkspur. The gazebo was constructed
with brown lily leaves and banana peel wood. Additional botanicals include dusty
miller, artemisia, evergreen, white poplar leaf, skeleton leaf and
miscellaneous ferns and leaves.
This piece was framed in a simple black frame and vacuum sealed between glass
and mylar. A second layer of 99% UV
conservation glass covers the ivory mat.
Beautiful work Betty. So graceful.
