Garden Cuttings:   B. Sharp's intricate compositions are not pressed flowers as such, nor decorative but temporary bouquets set in some design. Sharp uses stalks, leafs, and blossums as artistic elements
of spatial sculpture, that is, the gold frame holds and defines a
medly of plantings in 3 dimensions. Botanical art is ancient as the Egyptian civilization that used it in painted reliefs. The rock
plastic formula developed by Sharp is a modern means of putting
together and preserving plant structures and hues of the brief
summer season, the garden perennial, so to say, that lasts
indefinately, composed as a work of art. B. Sharp Images has worked
in the garden landscapes with individuals who want their own plant growths perserved, their own plantings season to endure, composed
for a lifetime. There is no additional cost working to preserve the
cuttings of private gardens.

Concerning B. Sharp's gold leaf sides on shelf sculpture:
the method of working a fine gold laminate was learned as an apprentice to an Italian goldsmith, the layering, varnish and
finish of melded layers as Renaissance furniture makers used it
500 years ago, an organic rather than an industrial patina. Artisan work of this kind requires days of application even for surfaces 8" long and 1.5" in depth (size of the small self sculptures). All materials, varnish, brushes, and leaf are imported from manufacturers in the city of Florence.
