Floating tulip

I'm so pleased to have this beautiful shot by

Vogue Living's Marcel Aucar to share with you all.

The tulip, 'Last Gasp, after Maria Sibylla Merian c1670'

is finished now, but this photo of the unfinished work, posed with

an exquisitely elegant Shaker style chair, which I rescued from local hard

rubbish, lends the work an even more poignant sense of the ephemeral. 

"It looks like an exotic bird about to alight on the chair back..."
