Following the June 2022 reveal event, additional work was done to replicate the green tent borders and the blue and white sky based upon the historical slides and samples taken from the Lost Mural. These borders were completed in November 2022; only the bottom edging needs to be added when funds are secured. A photo from November 2022 is attached showing the Lost Mural with the entire Tent of the Tabernacle and the mural’s brilliant hues.
