This is my entry for Attemptestock and texturifics competition: [link]
Please please read my description, it explains all

The title is a bit of a play on words from the term 'crocodile tears', which comes to mean fake tears. As you can see, the butterflys grow, as does the girls sorrow for whatever reason it may be. This took quite a while, esspecially the masking of all the butterflys, which was very intricate work and I had to take quite a lot of breaks to take naps as Im quite sick at the moment with severe tonsilitis. I wanted to sleep but my throat is too sore to stay asleep for too long :(
Anyway, I hope you all like it :)

Life is too short. Everyday things happen, and things change. So, for me I try to capture the moments.

The butterflies are gorgeous first off. They're not all the same and I love the fact that you take a lot of time into your work. I like the meaning behind this too. Sometimes people cry just to get attention...it's like her tears are flying away from her to escape her own misery. Well, I just wanted to say great job. :D

Those who restrain desire do so because
Theirs is weak enough to be restrained.
