dolllady aka Pam says:This is absolutely gorgeous! Your painting is amazing! What was the heart made of? I have some hand painted porcelain bells made by other artists. Your work is a great contender!

Crystal Canary says:What a beautiful vintage, feminine look. You have nice vision in creating your designs. I like how you used the acetate piece & your own floral picture. I’m not sure how you got those tiny seeds around the focal–I’d love to see a closeup of it. Great work for sure!
