SV01: Starry, Starry Night — I Started It!

making a Sailor Valentine is not for the faint-hearted. although I've dreamed, plotted, and planned out several valentines in my head—actually physically starting a valentine is something all together different. it came down to push or shelf it. a leap of confidence had to be made. no more hiding behind design, choosing shells, or applying paint. time to crack open the 527!

the above image is of the comet/star trail and a few of the spiny ferns i've created (they aren't in place yet). so far i'm pleased with the initial results but i want to incorporate a sense of liveliness into the design—less uniform application of shells—and i think the purple/blue smaller star area is the place for it. that happens next....
