The Lantern Festival at the Missouri Botanical Gardens ends this August 30, 2015 so time is running out if you have been procrastinating! Twenty-two beautiful and colorfully lit displays crafted with silk, wire and porcelain are featured. A few samplings are:
The elephants are incredible, especially when you take a moment and imagine just how many pieces of porcelain make up the display. The close up photo ( double click on it for a real close up ) shows off the cups , saucers, spoons, etc crafted to create the elephant’s bodies.
A path way of cherry blossoms and dandelions.
Lovable Panda Bears
Modeled after a Stupas Pagoda in China, this display is built with over 300,000 pieces of plates, bowls, spoons, tea cups, ladles and wine cups.
Lastly, my favorite, Bird Land.
Thanks for reading!
