These bright flower petals can play with all the colors of the rainbow and the hundreds and thousands of shades. Birds in the flower mosaics look realistic, natural and detailed. Hong Yi realized that flower petals – especially gerbera petals – look similar to feathers especially when they are arranged on top of one another, layer by layer.
