Jar of Hope

Hi everyone.  This is an artsy image from Unity so I thought I'd do more "sloshing" of ink.  I used bright colours for the flowers (picked raspberry / candied apple).  The jar is coated with Crystal Glaze to give it some shine.

Such a pretty card Loll... could do with some Spring like flowers... weather here in the UK is dreadful and Spring (March) seems a long long way away!!

These flowers would brighten anyone's day Bonnie in their bright pink and red and also the green stems and glass vase. We have had sun followed by heavy rain over the last couple of days, just wish we could have a few bright days without rain. x
