REally pretty, such a cleaver way to frame it as well.

DawnstarW In reply to NekoNicky [2010-03-03 22:16:17 +0000 UTC]

I seem to have a habit of doing that on many of my pieces. Starting to wonder if it's become a trademark of mine.

I think that next to humans, intricate flowers and plants are the hardest to depict. Flawless work to say the least and waay better than any camera could do.
Thanks for creating!

Lovely image and very well made! I think the detail of the flowers coming out of the frame is very interesting and original.
Just a question, what's the english name of that plant? I have those but the blue-purple ones. They're beautifull!

DawnstarW In reply to FunnyMask [2010-03-03 20:04:04 +0000 UTC]

I honestly don't remember the name right off hand. I do know it's nearly impossible to say it without sounding like you're sneezing.

DawnstarW In reply to MeiChild [2010-02-07 06:30:07 +0000 UTC]

I have a tendency of having some part of the center image "spill out" over the border of the piece. Glad that you enjoyed it.

MeiChild In reply to DawnstarW [2010-02-07 07:42:41 +0000 UTC]

i see absolutely no problem with things spilling out or whatever anyone wants to call it i think if you do it well, do it.

I really like how the flowers 'op' from the picture focus to the outside a little. Beautiful
