Ladies and gentleman may I present my first parasol project picture: Love.

OMG THIS TOOK AAAAAAGGGGGEEESSSSSSSSS! like hours and and hours it went well over time and omg it took so long!

*clears throat* yes well, this is the first installment of the 12 part series which will come very slowly and randomly too yur watch list. I chose love as that's what was assigned to that model and it was the only pics I had at the time =p.

Love was a hard one, I didn't want to be corny and have a thousand hearts, and as I was heart broken when I started this, I wanted to do what love meant to me. I used red not pink, to symbolize passion and romance. she has a bit of leg showing so sexyness. the dress looks like a rose, it wasn't meant to but it turned out looking that was and I liked it so I kept it. the second colour is black because I associate black with elegance and sexyness. and the roses as the main theme, because roses are beautiful, but they also can cut you (hence the blood) just like love, so I thought it fit. the crown of thorns is a reference to Jesus, the ultimate love sacrifice upon the cross.

The dragonfly wings no symbolisim, just they fit best, and the parasol is just a classic black lace one.

The backgrounds will all match.

Special thanks to my model :icondonna-saur: as she was right along me the whole way seeing updates and giving me her input thank you Donna!

I'm not going to tell you what is next, you will have to wait and see ;) (unless you talk to me on facebook chat haha)
