I became entralled with the Milagros Hearts fellow blogger Margaret, of Water Blossoms has been making, and when I saw this cactus in full bloom (a print), I had an urge to make one of my own, but shaped into a sort of heart! I used my Sharpies, and went over the bit of white with my white PenTouch. I like it...I really love the crosshatching on the cactus body! I thought it gave it a more stickly sort of texture! I think I can touch up the flowers a little more, but am in a hurry to post so I can get on with the day!
I hope you enjoy it!

Julie, it IS SO GOOD to see you here on CM!!! And what a beauty you showed us!!!!

I love how the white pen shows the edges of the petals and the creative way you handled needles too! Happy CM!
Hearts are always good to draw. The cross hatching works well to give it a definitional look. HCM, Judy

i LOVE it! nice job, julie!
Thanks for the smile, Julie! And for the visit. I've not been much for blogging lately, but I'm glad I stopped by and saw your art work. You gave the cactus a lot of texture with that technique.
Really beautiful. You are really good with Sharpies. Anything I try with them appears to be paint-by-numbers quality. What's your secret?

Thanks all...hey Aiyana---I think this is probably fairly paint-by-number looking as well!!! LOL
