'Peonies in a Blue Bowl' is 5"x7" and was in the 2008 World Wide Pressed Flower Guild Conference Competition.  It took a Third Place ribbon in its category.  It has a 3" double mat of a mottled beige color with a darker brown inside mat color.  The wood frame is a brushed silver color and measures about 2 1/2" wide...simple, yet elegant.  The bowl is created with delphinium petals, the walls are of fall day lily leaves, the table is of fall amaryllis leaves, the window is of the white poplar leaf, the window panes are of tulip petals and the book is of rose petals.  The peonies are the petals of this lovely flower that have been pulled apart, pressed and then reconstructed.

This one is sealed and conservation glass is used.
