Blooming Fantastic! Halfland's 3D into 2D Wallpaper

Before I post about the fabulous pond developments (!), and the NEW incredible Halfland volunteer (!), and show you Cirelle's deft character clay sculpt (!)... And more (!)... a surprise bonus item (surprising because I didn't know I would make progress with it tonight)... (click to enlarge image for detail)

Reader Rich offered an embellishment on my initial idea of having the tea cup rose vines growing into the cottage through the Tudor window panes that I liked a lot. He went further (as I recall), and suggested that the "real" 3D roses somehow growing into the 2D illustration on the wallpaper. How? I didn't know.

I was spontaneously able to make that happen tonight.

Earlier today, I shot the hand-made coffee-filter paper scale roses on black velvet (to make it easier to select them from the background and not blow out the shadows, see sample screen shot, upper right). It was easy and fun (and fairly quick) to arrange the various images of the blooms into the sort of repeating pattern one finds on floral wallpaper.

What I love about the resulting floral pattern above is that it's wilder and most like the "real" 3D roses on the right-hand side (near the window, with spaces where the "real" 3D flowers can be positioned to grow against the wall.) The color is more like the flowers there and then slowly fades into a kind of old-fashioned, more precisely placed, proper wallpaper as it travels toward the left.

Once this pattern is applied/transferred (via ink jet rub-on paper or other image transfer techniques) to the interior cottage wall from the bay window into the bedroom niche, I think the illusion will be spectacular! Thanks to rich, and for all the readers here for contributing to make Halfland even more wonderful than it ever could have been without you!
