There's a story behind this wreath.
It's based on another I saw when I was window shopping in Old Folsom. The wreath I saw was similar in that it had ribbons in the center creating a star, but the ribbons were black, and around the outside of the wreath were skulls. The impression I got from the wreath in the shop window was of something dark, and maybe even a little evil. I wanted to create something that was beautiful, something that would make me feel happy to look at, so I began work on this wreath.
I decided to do it in fall colours, and I was hoping to have it finished in time for Mabon, but I've been feeling a little under the weather, so I finished it today. It was a bit of trial and error figuring out how to do the ribbons and flowers, but I'm pretty happy with how it came out. The only thing I can't decide on is that bow at the bottom. I kinda like it, and kinda don't. What do you think?
Technical Info: Wreath is approxamately 10inches across, the flowers are silk (for the sake of being able to reuse the wreath), and the star was created using three separate ribbons to get a sampling of fall colours in there.
I've always had a fascination with ribbons... I think I like it better with the bow. But really, it looks complete either way, which is odd. I guess it's up to you.
So pretty, though. All the darkness and death people put out can be so overwhelming. And I know, I convey the image too often in some of the writing I did. e.e
I think it's only human to have a facination with things morbid, I was just a little irked that this store supposedly advertising itself to the Wiccan/Pagan community would have something so....depressing. We're not all just depressed highschooler, dammit! Some of us are depressed college students!

Some people have been asking me about this stuff so I decided to gather all information in one single article on how to make your own portfolio, in a profesional and clean looking way. I hope it's useful, because these steps I myself take.
DeviantArt is full of extremely well produced artistic fashion and fine art photographs. Make up. Styling. Creation of scenery. Story. Light. Glamour. A combination of these expressions sometimes make up a great photograph. But the protagonists of these pictures are usually female.
So... now it's the time for male models to come into focus.
How to make DA work for YOU! Taking an in-depth look at how to make deviantART work for you, and getting the most out of your user experience. How to get comments, watches, your work scene, commented on, critiqued, and what you have to do. These are some of the things which I have learned since joining more than 4 1/2 years ago.
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More

I think that the flower and all add the only oomph it needs.
Nice work.
Good stuff.
