A goodly time back I gave a rose to someone I held dear to my heart when she came to visit. She was leaving for 4 months after her 2 day stay. She couldn't take the rose with her as she was flying (it would get smashed) so that night I took a number of photographs of the flower and then worked on creating a rose that she could keep forever.
this is the result. I wanted to share it so that others might enjoy it as well.
