    I bet it smelt beautiful also with the potpourri. Such an amazing idea and a slice of nature surrounding you. The birds singing is adding to the feel in this video. Love the silver stones love that your thinking outside the box. OMG that glitter. Only way you could have blinged it up more would be to add super sparkle white in your Resin first layer. OMG you added a special effect WOW editing skills increased compared to mine. Absolutely beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing. Keep being amazing and keep creating.

    Yep, heard the birds and the plane. Lol. It sounded like my yard in the early morning hours before it gets too damn hot. I love it. I sit out on my porch with my coffee and listen to them sing... it starts the day off good. I love those metallic rocks and I think they really brought this piece together. But where I'm at, I can only find them at Joann's and boy are they way more than a dollar... so that kind of sucks. I got so worried when you said you would be gone and you kind of sounded down.... after reading some of the comments I see that you're having hip surgery. That sucks but I hope it helps. I have a friend that had a hip replacement almost a year ago. She had a long recovery but also had some other health problems anyway she's fine now and is glad she had it done. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and can't wait for you to be back. Take care of yourself. Hugs.
