Description
This is my entry for Attemptestock and texturifics competition: [link]Please please read my description, it explains all
The title is a bit of a play on words from the term 'crocodile tears', which comes to mean fake tears. As you can see, the butterflys grow, as does the girls sorrow for whatever reason it may be. This took quite a while, esspecially the masking of all the butterflys, which was very intricate work and I had to take quite a lot of breaks to take naps as Im quite sick at the moment with severe tonsilitis. I wanted to sleep but my throat is too sore to stay asleep for too long
Anyway, I hope you all like it

This is a lovely image, simple in a beautiful way(but obviously taking a lot of work to produce). And you managed to make it while you had tonsilitis - pretty impressive! Hope you're completely recovered and feeling great...

The butterflies are gorgeous first off. They're not all the same and I love the fact that you take a lot of time into your work. I like the meaning behind this too. Sometimes people cry just to get attention...it's like her tears are flying away from her to escape her own misery. Well, I just wanted to say great job.
