Description i never thought for a second that i would make this in time but i did
my entry to :devsparkly-dest:'s EMTC for april 2012
The theme this month was flowers.
----
I was nestled in the Isle de la Wight between the 13th and 16th april. 100 years from when the HMS Titanic sank (14th-15th April). I walked down to the beach by where our resort was in the early hours of the 15th. i was hoping to go on a walk to find some inspiration for my EMTC entry this month and while i was sitting on the beach, i saw a single flower float towards me, i picked it up. Then more and more flowers started to show, i thought to myself that these flowers may have come from southhampton or something (southhampton being where the titanic sailed from) so i put the flower that i picked up back in respect to the numerous people who died on the ship. My simple walk turned out to be my entire inspiration for this picture
-----
I have used flowers in a memorial sort of sense if you didn't realise )

I want to give a big thank you to =TheSaltyMonster for always being at the livestream whenever i streamed my drawings. She was a big morale booster to me and also gave me some constructive critisism on what needed to be done. She's the only one who's sen this from start to finish so thank you Pri

and thank you to all the people i've shown this to while in development
