The topic for today's post is love and life and I selected green and pink for this particular challenge. Love automatically brought hearts to mind for me. When I thoght of life, I thought of healthcare since I work in it. And, the symbol, for me of health and life is always the ankh. If you are not familiar with it, it is an Egyptian Hieroglyphic character. It means eternal life. My father worked in research for a pharmaceutical company and I remember they used the symbol at his agency. They used to give their employees keychains with the ankh on them. So here is what I came up with.....
I painted a coat of Color Club Twiggie and then used saran wrap to dab on OPI Italian Love Affair. The hearts are China Glaze Rich & Famous and I added the Ankh in rhinestones over Italian Love Afair on the accent nail. Love the hyacinths as a backdrop except I probably will not be able to breathe the rest of the day.
Please stop over to see what the other ladies who are in the challenge are doing. I have seen some really great interpretations from amazing designers.
