{"product_id":"red-poppies-mixed-media-canvas","title":"Red Poppies Mixed-Media Canvas","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile traveling in England in 2014, I was fortunate enough to visit the Tower of London on the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War I and see the Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red exhibit. This exhibit consisted of 888.246 ceramic poppies, sweeping over the side of the Tower of London and out onto the lawn. It was a visually stunning and emotional piece of artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe remembrance poppy was inspired by the World War I poem “In Flanders Field,” and the poem refers to poppies as the first flowers to emerge on the war-torn battlefields of Europe. This project was inspired by the remembrance poppies and shows the frailty of this striking, vibrant flower. These little poppies remind us that reemergence after a tragedy, even if it is a slow, painful process, is a triumphant victory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eRed Poppies Mixed-Media Canvas Directions:\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdhere strips of book pages and sheet music to canvas with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/adhesives-primers-and-mediums%20\" target=\"\"\u003egel medium\u003c\/a\u003e.
