Love Hurts

When crazy ideas pop into your head, you just need to follow through. I actually pricked my finger with a thorn (what will I not do for a picture) on purpose only the realize that's not enough blood and man that hurts. Food coloring, water and a little corn syrup is painless. Spending our 42nd Valentines with my sweet husband, so grateful to be lucky in the love department.

At first I thought Ouch, but then I read the text. Good to hear that no blood was spilt in the making of this photo.

The things you do for love? The things you do for art! I was really impressed with how red your blood is until I read your description! A beautiful composition FAV
