Maybe without the signature though, huh?<br /><br />Rahina - You're right, tough and flexible is the ideal combination for us all.<br /><br />Janelle - I'm glad you like it too.<br /><br />R - Cool that you noticed that. :)<br /><br />Bill - Merci.<br /><br />Jane - That's nice to hear. I'd like to be able to keep coming closer to melding the two opposing styles.<br /><br />Liz - Thanks. It was nice working with such a restrained palette.<br /><br />Akiko - Poppies and cats--we have a lot in common. Arigatoo!<br /><br />Donald - Thank you. I was definitely hoping to capture that floaty feeling a poppy has, as if it's lighter than air. Of course, maybe it just feels like that to you because you're literally surrounded by water...? ;)Jala Pfaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186623108399217523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162020605981984694.post-82076394614576814092009-05-10T13:17:00.000-06:002009-05-10T13:17:00.000-06:00This is gorgeous.

Yeah, the little glass bud vase it was in. I struggled for a while with it because I didn't want it to be too "solid" looking. At a certain point of working in that area and redoing it, it suddenly had just the right amount of substance for what I wanted.<br /><br />Pam - Thanks for noticing the shadow. :)Jala Pfaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186623108399217523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162020605981984694.post-25425743478947592382009-05-08T23:58:00.000-06:002009-05-08T23:58:00.000-06:00I like it too.
