thank you bubbleblue – the smokey moon maiden thanks you!
Keiran Lusk
Ooh, what a fascinating capture. I can really see the beautiful Blue Moon Maiden in this image. Just perfect. Very clever :-)
Vicki Ferrari replied
Thank you Keiran! Thank goodness for smokey incense aye?! And a vivid imagination!! That always helps!! Cheers, Vicki :))
Keiran Lusk
Incredible to think that this apparition comes completely from smokey incense! Although I do have a rather vivid imagination, it is certainly not needed in this image. What a freaky and totally beautiful shape the smoke takes on. Cheers :-)
Vicki Ferrari replied
Hi Keiran, There are a lot of other images that I haven’t done anything else with yet – there were all sorts of shapes and stuff! Will have to get myself organised, yeah, one day…. maybe!! This image was a little processed ie PS, moon wasn’t in there originally of course! But the basic image was the one that most people see! Cheers! Vicki :))

* RoyAllenHunt *
When I saw this in my image feed as a thumbnail, I was drawn to it immediately. Most excellent work. The image may have drawn itself but the artist fixed and refined the instant into a magnificent work of art. Excellent!!!
Vicki Ferrari replied
Thank you so much Roy! You have inspired me to find the other works! When I get organised! I seem to have a problem with that!! :))
Michele Randell
Great suggestive image..It’s always amazing what we find in art if we allow our subconscious to guide us..!
Vicki Ferrari replied
Spot on Michelle! I have been trying to find the other images that I took that day and do you think that I can find them anywhere? Hidden somewhere in the back blocks of the computer (well, hopefully!!) ,,, :))
~ Ademac
Superb image……………wonderful post treatment.
Vicki Ferrari replied
Thanks so much Ademac! It is amazing what incense and smoke can form!! I have to find the rest now…. (see above comment!)... :)) wish me luck!!

laureenr
Great smoke effect Vicki. Fantastically creative.

southmind
Very creative and so suggestive… I wonder what kind of cigarette it was… :)
Great work.
Vicki Ferrari replied
Hey Serge, thank you and just normal old incense, not even a cigarette!!! :)))
Kasia-D
This really caught my imagine when I saw it and I bought a card recently when ordering some of my own. It stands on a shelf near my desk:-))
Vicki Ferrari replied
Thanks Kasia!! Does it look like the card you bought? i.e. colours, sizing, etc? And your cards? Similar colours? Thanks for your feedback here and hope you are keeping well!! :)) Vicki xo
Kasia-D
Happy to give feedback. Quality of card definitely fine art – a card to keep and not throw away when the occasion is over! Colours are slightly darker than on-screen but same for my cards too and common when ordering prints, or whatever. Crop – it is more or less exactly as shown in RB card preview i.e. top part of moon and 90% of your name are cropped off. Not a problem as I’m not sending to anyone but it is a shame as the top of the letters are just visible. Maybe you could do a second version for card only. Big hugs across the miles! Kasia
