I struggled more with the first one, the second one was much more free flowing, that might explain the painterly quality of it. those swirls are perforated out of a laser cut lace paper, I love them too! they are so subtle because they are white, and when I glue them they disappear, they only come back when the glue dries!Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785958267715615197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690400023329277323.post-80352316734092572542008-11-14T16:28:00.000-05:002008-11-14T16:28:00.000-05:00Love the second one!!!

On the top one I love how the leaves pop off the cream background and the letters/and words on the leaves.<BR/><BR/>On the blue piece, I love the white swirls in the background. The texture of the leaves seem more luxurious on this piece.<BR/><BR/>In the top photo, I love that you show a piece of your workspace! The folders cans, the scraps of paper. It's great!Cheryl Houstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714034822340589132noreply@blogger.com
