To create these work of art they are first designed on a computer to figure out where and how to plant the rice. Then hundreds of volunteers plant the rice stakes that have been genetically engineered to produce a variety of colors — dark red, yellow and white, which are mixed with the local green-leafed variety to produce intricate designs. The designs themselves have been improving with each passing year as the villagers learn from their past mistakes and refine their skills.
