<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rastella, post: 340279, member: 6722&quot;]That&#039;s beautiful and ... Italian?&nbsp; I feel like this is comparing apples to oranges.&nbsp; Granted, the artist that did my (this smaller one) shadow box may not have been the best one out there in his time but the &quot;simplicity&quot; of the design is in line with Chinese and Japanese flower arranging - less is more.&nbsp; In Japanese, it&#039;s referred to as Ikebana. Not sure what it&#039;s called in Chinese.&nbsp; If you read my history, I&#039;m always more than ready to be convinced.&nbsp; So, I&#039;m not trying to be stubborn.&nbsp; However, in this case, I&#039;ve pointed out several obvious differences when comparing mine to the vintage shadow boxes I can find.&nbsp; And some I&#039;ve yet to point out.&nbsp; I also have a larger shadow box (same source) that was created and signed by a more skilled artist and the flower below is from that one.&nbsp; I just took a quick picture of it and was planning on referring back to it but got distracted and now I&#039;m too tired to take more pictures tonight, lol.&nbsp; I will tomorrow so y&#039;all can see the difference in skill level between the two.&nbsp; Good night and thanks, all!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]114404[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
