This ceramic head was rescued from a skip and now resides in a raised flower bed.
I enjoyed putting this together and choosing flowers at the right angle for her to be smiling at
The title is from the story of The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde which is a wonderful story for children which contains the meaning of Easter - very short and worth a read
Enjoy your day

A beautiful and ethereal image Helen, this one is a real work of art and your creative side has come to the fore once again. I'm so glad I opened up the thumbnail to view this one as the thumbnail does it scant justice

So glad so many of you have looked at this - it seems a bit washed out as a thumbnail
