this is most definitely great as is......
even though i don't know what it is either

I like the detail, I think it looks life a stem off of a flower and was dipped in blue paint

Thanx, I guess it is just a piece of artwork, I tried to make it into a flower, but a changed my mind,
I am not exactly sure how to anyway!
Glad you like it!

looks like a celery stalk... eheehehe... well, this looks ok... seems like youre fooling around with opacity, which is a good thing... :) but keep on trying....

This is a microscopic picture of a rug fiber from a 70's shag carpet. This is a nice picture!
