Victorian Fantasy flower and Magnolia flower is made into 3 dimensional pictures to bring it out to the viewer’s eye. These picture frames can be placed in a front room, dining room or a bedroom where it would be a pleasure to look at. The colours of the Magnolia picture are brown, purple and green. The colours of the Victorian Fantasy picture are purple, pink and green. The colour of the Victorian Fantasy flower background is green with the use of a purple mounting; this brings it out more if compared to using a green mount only. With regard to the Magnolia flower the green mount stands more out than the purple and both these frame boxes has a silver border. The dimensions of these frames are 385mm length by 345mm breath.

The contrast in colour of the Magnolia flower is more dominant than in the Victorian Fantasy flower because the background is tinted pink that reveals the darker brown more easily. The Victorian Fantasy flower has a dark green background that hides the green stems. The focalisation of the Victorian Fantasy lies on the pink edging of the petals of the flower.  Silicon glue is use to lift the stages of each tiny peace of the segment of the flower to form it. The form is not only created by the glue that elevates the segment of each flower but the shape plays big role too. The curve line that is place by the use of angles creates the shape and gives depth to the image. The transition of colour gives off the senses of tonal value. Tone is created by shades that are light to dark from one point to another point.

With regard to the Magnolia flower there is more sense of texture in the brown stem than the green stem. The two 3 dimensional images has a balanced composition for example the Victorian Fantasy flower has two flower buds extended above the main flower and the Magnolia flower has one big flower dangly across with two small buds on each side.
