My entry for the FLORA Museum Challenge!
I picked this 1888 Harnett painting of a violin and piccolo from The Met it shows the instruments hanging on a worn wooden door with sheet music tacked behind them, like someone just stepped away. And what naturally came to mind was music. I thought of a scene of one or two persons playing this so with the help of Floraai I was able to come up with this.

Something about color blue - Sicily Edition 🦋
[reel stats]
Blue is my color these days. Blue plus creativity 😍
I found Eugène Grasset’s 1896 La plante et ses applications ornementales, a pattern book of Art Nouveau plant studies, on the Public Domain Image Archive, sourced from the Smithsonian Libraries via the Internet Archive. I used four of its plates as references to build a custom Recraft V4 Style called “Flora Urbana – Grasset Ornament”. The series, Flora Urbana: A Botanical Atlas of Modern Life, treats everyday technology as newly discovered species, each plate with a specimen above and abstracted ornament borders below. Earbuds become flower buds, a drone becomes a winged seed, a video call becomes a bed of blossoms, and an electric kettle becomes a snail. Grasset’s flat, lithographed look makes the modern objects feel like they belong in a Victorian herbarium.
