"Flowers of Fire" was done as an etching, using a copper plate. in addition to the traditional etching Taback employed the use of "spit-bite" (a mixture of nitric acid and Gum Arabic - or saliva) spattered on the surface of the plate to achieve the tonal effect she wanted for this composition.

Taback etches a "flower" that explodes like a comet or a pinwheel firework over the surface. With the spit-bite she creates a dark center surrounded by a red glow hovering over what could be the edge of the planet - or the garden.
