Beginning 'The Garden in My Mind'(Souls of Dead Flowers Ascending)

Hello Everybody,

Hope you are all making it through the winter.

I've started a new shadowbox.

I liked "Timothy Leary's Garden" and wanted to do a bigger one like it, and try out some new ideas.

I have set down the bottom layer in a black and white pattern. Most of this will be covered by the colorful layers.

Then I have made corner pieces with holes all through them.

 And I'm building them up in layers, the temporary braces are visible in this picture.

And my next step is to make the little mandalas and flower like elements.
Looks like I've got enough to keep me busy for a little while.
enjoy the new year,
peace and love
Haint
