JAT Petal Paint turns discarded temple flowers into timeless art

Orange (1890 ml), White (946 ml), Red (473 ml), Yellow (236 ml) and Blue (118 ml). Each packaging was intricately labelled with a design derived from temple art itself.Conceptualised by Leo Burnett Sri Lanka, and executed in partnership with Leo Burnett Toronto, the Petal Paint initiative scored an ‘8-ball’ at the network’s prestigious Global Product Committee review, and is rapidly gaining worldwide recognition.Mark Tutssel, Executive Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of Leo Burnett Worldwide stated, “This revolutionary idea harnesses the power of creativity to positively impact the world. It is a wonderful example of a brand giving something back to Sri Lanka’s heritage and culture. This innovative work not only invites people to engage in a truly unique way, it also ensures the very important preservation and restoration of sacred temple art.”Also commenting on the initiative, Ven. Beragama Wimaladhama Thero, Chief Incumbent of Nawala Vimala Viharaya said, “This noble effort ensures that temple flowers, which are given with the greatest respect, have a more meaningful purpose and impact on our revered places of worship. Petal Paint breathed new life into faded flowers, enabling them to become a timeless offering. This process preserves these precious petals that are given with so much veneration, and makes them an integral part of our holy temples. The murals that were restored with Petal Paint, tell the stories of the Buddha and highlight important religious events and tenants. In their new liquid form, the petals continue to remain a heartfelt offering – but one that leaves a lasting impression.”Using the latest technology in paint manufacturing, JAT was able to produce 50 litres of paint from every 2,114 kilograms of dried flower petals. In addition to finding a meaningful way to use the discards, the initiative also helped to reduce the daily waste from temple sites across the country, keeping it out of landfills and easing the burden on garbage collectors. All in all, the entire process fused art and creativity with sustainability – whilst most importantly, preserving the reverence of the flowers.With the launch of Petal Paint, the manufacturer JAT Paints plans to restore multiple temple murals across the country. The first such restoration project was undertaken at the shrines in Sri Sudarmarama Poorana Maha Viharaya, Ganegama and Akuressa. “We created Petal Paint to give something back to Sri Lanka’s heritage and culture,” says Richa... http://www.thesundayleader.lk/2018/07/13/jat-petal-paint-turns-discarded-temple-flowers-into-timeless-art/

Her business also uses the title Margaret Palmer Floral Design. Some of the brides and grooms become her friends and they invite her to their wedding as a guest.FamilyPalmer experienced some firsts in her genealogical lineage. Her late father Giuseppi Vitulli arrived in this country from Italy, thus making his children first generation Italian American. Her late mother, Evelyn, on the other hand, was a first-generation citizen herself because her parents came to the United States from Calabria, Italy.Her father worked as a Merchant Marine and came to this country with a strong work ethic. He arrived in America illegally, to escape Mussolini's Italy during World War II, and later became a naturalized citizen.Margaret Vitulli married her high school sweetheart, Richard Palmer, 30 years ago. The couple raised two children. Daughter Paisley, 27, received her B.A. from the University of New Mexico-Albuquerque and her M.A. at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. She is an archaeologist for an environmental company and plans to marry Matthew De Freese in Hawaii on Dec. 16. The Palmers' son, Allen, 25, completed his bachelor's degree at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. In April, he wed his wife, Serenah. The couple lives in San Antonio, where he serves in the Air Force as a commissioned officer.Personal interestsPalmer prefers to live in the moment, and loves sharing stories. The frequent volunteer helped with hockey, soccer, tennis, drama, fundraising and many activities in the schools, including substitute teaching. She supports the Taos County Chamber of Commerce as a member and an ambassador. "I like to stay involved with town things, and that includes political campaigns," said Palmer.As frequent travelers, the Palmers visited Europe and Russia and have gone American river boat cruising. The couple enjoys traveling with family. Anticipated future vacation spots include Alaska, Machu Picchu and Africa.In this season of Thanksgiving, Palmer said she is grateful. "I give thanks for another day in paradise. I live in a wonderful place. Our children received a good education in the Taos schools and they continue to come to Taos whenever possible. I love to spend time with family and travel the world. The Taos sunsets are the best.
