  1. Wow! Thats really really good. I really like the contrast of the thin wispy strands and the blobby bits. Have you put the vase over a lightbox?

  2. I was a bit worried about putting up this shot as my other half thought it looked like someone had cut their wrists (and I thought I was the dark and moody one)!

    Yes, you are correct. I stood the lightbox up vertically, behind the vase. The inks (being lighter in the water) seemed to work better than food colouring. I’m glad you like it :)
