Warning: This experiment uses fire. Never work with fire unless there is a child with you. That gives you someone to blame if something goes wrong.

“Abruptly the poker of memory stirs the ashes of recollection and uncovers a forgotten ember, still smoldering down there, still hot, still glowing, still red as red.”
~William Manchester

~ so it didn't flame - just smouldered and produced much smoke with a hint of a glow now and again - am thinking more paper - really commit to the flame and add accelerant ~

~ for the mundane paper challenge

It's a great shot but I agree - commit to the cause and go for total combustion.

[Annie D]

@graemestevens yes - I like the tones and textures but there is nothing like a naked flame all orange and red and blue and burning

[Annie D]

@graemestevens just changed the title - silly me

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied I love a good blaze. Especially when it's on things that you're not supposed to burn. You may have noticed

[Annie D]

@graemestevens yeh - I suspected lol

[Eve Pulsater]

Love, love, love a good fire.

[Annie D]

@creampuff I am going to commit to some good flame next time

[Sam]

Go hard or go home Ms Annie. Need BOOM flames next time!

[Annie D]

@gigiflower I know I know ! must be the mood

[Nancy]

Love all of that texture and messing with fire.

[Francoise]

well, you got great textures.

[Babs]

Mind you don't burn your fingers or singe your eyebrows.

[Simply Amanda]

You are cracking me up...love the quote and the bit about blaming the child:). So funny!

[Taffy]

Very creative!

[Call me Joe]

Coolness-love the funny title/quote :):)

[Marloes]

Haha, so a child always 'comes in handy' ;)
I'm about to end my 365 journey. I'm glad that I've discovered you and your (sometimes very emotional...) pics. I would like to wish you all the best and am confident that you are able to get your life going again, even without the greatest love of your life... You're so brave!
I would like to wish you all the best, Annie. Take care !

[Gena Pegg]

Very....I can feel the heat!!

[Annie D]
