The graphics on the flexible landscaping template can also indicate the placement of water management conduits and electrical conduits, the placement of hardscaping products and/or the placement of construction foundations. The flexible landscaping template is generated using input from a user and environmental criteria for the land to be landscaped. Once the flexible landscaping template is generated, the materials identified on the flexible landscaping template are gathered into a shipping module by a supplier company.

Abstract: System, method, and computer program product are provided for using real-time video analysis, such as AR or the like to assist the user of mobile devices with landscape design. Through the use of real-time vision object recognition objects, logos, artwork, products, locations, and other features that can be recognized in the real-time video stream can be matched to data associated with such to assist the user with selecting the proper landscape elements for the area the user wishes to landscape. The proper landscape elements may be based off of several factors regarding the landscape area. These factors include natural characteristics of the area, such as soil type, weather, sun/shade, natural terrain of the area, etc. This invention provides recommended landscape elements for an area, such that the recommended landscape elements have a high rate of success in the area.

Abstract: An improved process for dry flower craft which comprises cutting craft media (dry botanicals with stencils) and mounting the same on any surface of product with combination of other botanical elements like bamboo, grass, weeds, seed, stem, tendrils, fiber, solawood in any desired manner including artistic manner, which comprises reducing color loss while drying and storage of vegetation and also during crafting of the vegetation, making stencils of cheapest materials such as cardboard and paper, cutting out motifs; shaping the petals in any desired shape, pasting the same with known adhesives, characterized in that botanicals are dried prior to floral collage decoupage by drying while using mixture desiccant of silica gel+silver sand+non iodised salts (1:1:1 ratio), finally obtaining floral decoupage or only floral collage or a combination of both in design processing as application of the craft, making the floral resin laminates by reducing the peroxide harder by 1%.

Abstract: A method of blending a light-transmittable powder coating which is colored in at least one color and a colorless light-transmittable powder coating which is not colored, and dryblending the powder coatings, to color-match the powder coatings, capable of reproducing colors which could not be reproduced in conventional powder coatings, for example, light colors, transparent colors, or brilliant colors.

Abstract: Disclosed is a crown which is essentially a single piece unit formed desirably of plastic having a domed center portion with a plurality of guides, and depending sides, each of which has coordinated guides. The sides, in turn, are hingedly secured to the domed central portion to permit a dependent relationship. Because each side has a securement means for penetrating a foam block, they can be wrapped around such a foam block in anticipation of the insertion of the decorative elements. Further in coordination with the crown, patterns are provided in which a sizing discipline is shown, and with exemplary head sizes, to the end that flowers, whether artificial or natural and items such as flags, balloons, hearts, signs, or other emblems, can be sized and then directly inserted into the crown in accordance with the keyed indicia on the sizing portion of the patterns.

Abstract: An artificial flower arrangement kit including a flower matching template with separate, full scale pictorial representations of the flowers to be utilized in the kit and a matching numeral associated with each pictorial representation wherein the matching numeral corresponds to a placement numeral associated with a placement marking on a placement template. The placement template is sized for placement on an upper surface of a foam block into which the flowers are to be inserted through the placement template. The pictorial representations are preferably arranged on the matching template in ascending order corresponding with the order in which the flowers are to be inserted into the mounting block.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for designing a floral bouquet. The apparatus includes a substrate having front and back surfaces, and one or more ornamental members having first and second surfaces positionable on the front surface of the substrate.
