Now I need your help. I can only submit two mosaics. Which two do you think best embody the spirit and essence of the Ethereal Spring which is always "extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world."
Oh, my favorite was the first one! Love the way you brought together some novelty prints (horses, gnomes and strawberries) but in a way that wasn't overpowering =)
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks Rachel. When I scrolled through all the postings I saw lots of mosaics with those colors so I decided to pass on uploading it. I guess next time, I'll just have to go with my gut!
