Grass and some other areas filled in with "puffy paint".
Gazebo decorated with both "puffy paint" and "glitter craft paint".
Close-up detail

Mom standing next to the gazebo in her
"Garden of Memories". She holds flowers
made of "puffy paint" as well as the floral
button from a Centennial dress she
made me in the 1960's.  Details also
include a birdhouse button, and her shirt
was enhanced with a cutout of felt
matching the color and design of the
shirt she was wearing in the original
photograph.
Close-up detail

Birdhouse buttons sit on picket
fence posts. A small section of
fence was glued to the print for
added effect.

This photo also details the tree
trunk with Dad's bowling pin
buttons on two of the branches.

Apple buttons hang from the
tree and some spacing filled in
with "puffy paint".
Close-up detail

Buttons and more. Butterfly
button at upper left. Frog
button at lower left. Some
buttons have added detail
of sequins glued in the
center. Gaps filled in with
"puffy paint".
Close-up detail

Small pastel flowers in the
background are actually sequins
glued on for added effect.  The
birdhouse button was added due
to Mom's favorite hobby of bird
watching.
