I've so enjoyed cyberly meeting so many new artists! <BR/>Somehow this image was just calling out to be cropped. I've always wanted to explore the intricaties of glass which doen't normally feature along side my usual subjects (canines and equines). Looking forward to next months challenge - pencils are at the ready!
