Instead of mounting the photographs
in the usual way an OblOng panel might
be drawn on the print and then cut out
with scissors. This panel could be so
placed with reference to the flower that
the latter would appear TO be bursting

stems or leaves projecting beyond. Two
wavy but parallel lines drawn around
the panel and flower would complete
the decoration and the calendar leaf
could be attached TO the mount in the
