Elle

My explanation.
I tailored this to someone using a few details about her as the different elements.
Her name begins with L and she works as a builder.
I needed a straightedge to do the hacksaw blade. To neglect the absolutely straight line would have been unacceptable.
A hacksaw blade fitted the bill quite nicely, I don’t have a ruler. Might be an idea to get one.
I like things to look as real as possible so I looked on the net at hacksaw blades and found a lovely orange one with the words Bi-Metal on it.
I decided that’d work. The Times A was such a nightmare I had to find a suitable replacement.
The flower was going to make a pentagram but once I started doing the petals transparent I had to drop the idea and devote that patch solely to the flower.
I went a bit Vista on it.

you are truly talented
theyellowfury replied

Thanks as always Christiane. You’re quick on the draw as usual.
JenniferB

you always put so much thought and add personal detail to your work, I’ll bet she was just stoked!!! this is stunning work, and the flower looks incredible.

~~psst… if I give you a free blow job can you create a little something for me one day???~~ ;-)
theyellowfury replied

Oh she hasn’t seen it yet.
Of course I will. What would you like?
I can’t do certain things though, like heads or people, or anything normal really.
JenniferB

you can do plenty, I don’t want heads or anything real like that, I like symbolism, I’ll b mail you some time, thanks for the offer!!! :~~) -was that WITH or WITHOUT the blow job as a trade???~~
theyellowfury replied

I guess we could keep the blowjob separate from the project..
That’s great thinking ahead out of you.

theyellowfury replied

Thanks Igo. She’s very rock n roll ysee.
butchart

the flower worked out as the perfect touch it softens it just right for a feminine symbol…... very devoted to your craft work….... b
theyellowfury replied

Thanks Butch. I can now do flowers, hair, translucent things and wingnuts. What I need to do now is a translucent hairy flower with a wingnut on it. Once I finish your word, another thing, another thing, and another few things, I can settle into that.
Solar Zorra

aglaia b

wow, this is so gorgeous, love all the detail. it would make a wicked tattoo! ;-)
aglaia b

just read the explanation to this and find it extraordinary that you did it all free hand and without a ruler. that middle section looks so straight. BOY can u draw! ;-)
theyellowfury

Thanks Aglaia, I must admit to using a straightedge for the back of the hacksaw blade, but nothing else. So one assisted line then, the rest was me.
Melissa Vowell

Thanks SO much man, she fucking loves it seriously. She said she’s going to start tattooing it tomorrow lol

Honestly you amaze me
theyellowfury replied

Aw shucks.
Hey thanks.

Melissa Vowell

I love your thought patterns – and then your subsequent line patterns.

What a treat to share both with us.

Thanks. I always explain my work. Anybody who doesn’t is either lazy or a charlatan. But its always open for interpretation.
