Actually I wanted to make a tree out of the hand, but after 10 unsuccessful tries, it developed more and more to this one.
I tried adding other thing (more flowers, animals and so on) but it just looked worse, so I decided to leave it as it is.
Comments are always welcome :)

I found the picture of the heart a long time ago and had it still in my bookmarks without any chance to use. Till now ;)
I actually transformed the whole balloon into a heart, but it wasn't possible to recognize the source anymore, so I decided to just transform the ears into hearts.

I hope you like and comments are always welcome :) (2 years and 293 days ago)

Time can fly, time can run, time can crawl...
But sooner or later you will experience this little moment where the time stands still, where you are able to capture it, look at it from all sides and hold it in your hand.
Maybe just for a minute.
Maybe even just for a second.
But it will feel like a piece of eternity. (2 years and 88 days ago)

The magic of the written word
Votes: 262Favs: 6SBS: 6Hi: yesRank: 1/7Score: 62.8%5242 views

As I was a child, I was so fascinated about books. It was always a miracle for me, that whole worlds existed on a few pages of paper. Worlds, that made me dream and worlds, that formed my imagination.
And today I can't even think about living without books, cause they still abduct me in magical worlds.
So it is probably no coincidence, that the source made me think of books and the written word itself ;)
I just wanted to show a little magical place and my love to the written word :)

Goodbye...

I have the feeling, that I need to explain my thoughts behind this, so I'll do it :)
Some of you may think, that it would make more sense, if he would carry the suitcase, but I wanted to say, that she just arrived at her destination, whilst his journey still goes on.
But she has a strange and inauspicious feeling about this.
That's the reason why the front of the picture is light with green grass and a butterfly on her suitcase, but the background has this dead tree with a raven sitting on it and no grass.
So this shall represent her feelings about his leaving.

That was the first time, that I recovered such a big part. I know it's not perfect, but I hope, it is at least acceptable ;)

Balanced by sadness

Inspired by this quote:
There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

Carl Jung

In case some of you wonder, how I interpreted this quote:
The nights and days shall be represented through the stars and the daytime background.
The curtain stands for the view you have for your own and also other people's lifes.
The girl represents the happy life, while her clothes stand for the "measure of darkness".
The two sad statues stand for the sadness, which is balancing the happiness.
The rope is in this case completely straight and not bend in the middle where she is standing, because it stands for the strength you need to have, when you feel sadness.
That is the same for the hands. They are part of the sadness, but they are balancing the happiness in form of the horses.

Wouldn't it be great to be able to make things alive just with a touch?
Well, this little girl here seems to have this magic power ;)

Like always my intention at first was something completely different, but I'm pretty happy with the final result.
And yes: I know, that the bird, the flowers and everything else is too big in comparison to the girl, but realism wasn't my intent here ;)

I hope you like it and comments are always welcome :)

Out of nowhere hope is born
Votes: 283Favs: 5SBS: 9Hi: yesRank: 1/28Score: 61.2%5545 views

A little collage of my main emotions right now :)
These are: solitude, grief, love and hope.
I wanted to arrange them in a way so you can see, that they all belong together.
That's why greif, love and solitude are arranged in a kind of triangle.
I used always the same background, cause it shall reperesent me in this case. I'm always the same, I just have different emotions.
And in case you don't recognize the emotions:
On the left side is solitude, what should express the feeling of being alone. That's why the boy is walking away from the girl.
On the right side is grief. I intentionally placed only the girl there and nothing else, cause when you feel grief, you are always alone, notwithstanding how many people may be around you.
And in the middle is the love. I don't think, that I need to explain this one ;)
These three build the traingle. I placed the love intentionally above the two others, cause most of the times the love is just stronger and gives you strength.
The ivy comes from above (the direction of the love), what shall say, that love makes things alive.
But if the love is too weak, there is always hope. Even when you don't believe, that there could be hope.
It's always there, you just have to open your mind for it...
The text, that is engraved in the wall, shall represent the gathering of this emotions.
Yes, I guess, that's it.
Thanks for reading that long description and I hope, that you understood at least a little, what I was trying to say ;)

Oh and I know, that the frame looks bend. But the original frame is bend actually and I didn't wanted to change that, cause in my opinion it adds a special feeling to it :)
