Description
Clock details:I did a lot of thinking while working on this piece.
Time is so important in our world.
We are constantly under stress, running from one place to the next, trying to accomplish things and fulfill tasks at given deadlines.
It is difficult to find a moment to rest, think and be in peace.
Some never realize that time is relentless and will go on until it's too late. Time will continue flowing, inflexible.
Waters will turn rocks into sand, castles into ruins... day will follow night day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year and century after century.
Womankind is blind at the fact that there are so many other important things in life (like showing love to and caring for our beloved ones daily, like enjoying the small things around us, like making a stop to feel the breeze or sunshine touching our skins) which are left aside while we run towards success or goals.
Time is relentless. Every second gone... is gone.
It will never be back.
Think about that.
This work took me two weeks working an average of 4 hours daily and I used exactly 80 layers. I am happy with it because I did my best... and I want to dedicate it to and .
To Ebru, because of her encouragement, friendship and love. She awed me with her painting skills and I used her last tutorial to understand some more about how to use brushes to paint (most of the clocks have been retouched by painting them) and because she always encourages me so much .
To Christian, because of his support, encouragement and friendship. Since we first got in touch he started giving me advise, sending me notes with information and links, sharing his knowledge with me, teaching me how to improve. He has very little time, still he manages to be there when I have a question.
You all know this is my 4th photomanipulation.
To some of my friends, who may have asked themselves what was wrong with me, that I've been absent for so long, I will tell more in my next journal. I've been using my DA time for something very moving and important... I'll explain there.

You made me smile, Aimelle... and that makes me good right now
Indeed, it took a lot of work and I am happy on how it turned.
Having an idea to work on, which I liked, was a great experience. Winning is not that important .
I was starting a new pm when I saw this (the project is pretty complicated). But there's no time frame, so I'll enjoy it a lot.
Thanks for your encouraging words !!!

Hello sweetie,
this is by far the greatest manipulation I've seen. And your best piece; you can proudly say, you are now a master of Photomanip. I love your work so very much because it has a beautiful meaning. No matter what we do, time determines our lives. This is a really great concept and I feel so very much honoured, that you dedicated your masterpiece to me. Thank you again and again sweetie.

Hello, Ebru!
You make me very happy ! and you also made me blush
I am by far not a master and its still trial and error, but it was done with lots of love and in a very special moment for me. I am really glad that you liked it this much because you inspired my love for painting!
