Flower Power-An Invitation (Click Here!)

The window murals below were created using the photo copying process.
Employees brought in flowers from their gardens. Transparencies were
made in a variety of patterns, using sunflowers, ferns, daisies, roses,
wildflowers, etc. The imagery was then colored with permanent magic marker.

Kessler Teaching Wing of RWJMS

The colorful glass panels were black & white transparencies of flowers and ferns which everyone was invited to color with permanent magic.
