It happened in the green flash as the disk of the sun slipped beneath the horizon. The stars began to gleam like inverse shadows in the far corners of the sky, and the moon’s pale presence shone. The veil between the worlds rippled, and then as if that fabric could no longer contain the fullness of the Otherworld, it tore.
Not quite a gateway, nothing so substantial. The tear rippled down the path that the setting sun had blazed across the waters of the lake, and the arc of the Milky Way reflected in a corridor of stars.
A flock of swans spread their wings and flew above that path to the far shore, and the beating of their wings was a horrible and beautiful summons. The rhythm vibrated through my fingertips and made the soles of my feet itch. I wanted to follow them. I wanted it more than anything I have ever desired.

you should really make these prints into puzzles. I know I would do them if they were puzzles, they remind me of some that i have.

I like the geometry of it. Not quite perfect, but exactly as it has to be.

I honestly love this, it has kind of a weird, dreamy, oppressive feeling. It's like when you have a dream that's ALMOST nightmarish, but not quite. That's what I get from it anyway..

Beautiful, Stephanie! Something about this one really speaks to me. It's like colors dripping from a forgotten dream. These abstract pieces you've been doing lately have been really quite lovely and haunting. This one is probably my favorite yet.

The picture is lovely, as always. With the context of the quote, it makes me almost heart-hungry.
Thank you.
