Artist Reply: :-) Thank you, Joanna. Really, itsn't "a shot". I took a photo of my hand; the rose is another different photo and, finally, I drew the blood (india ink). Best wishes from Northwestern Spain.

Artist Reply: Good morning from Spain, Madeleine. Just taking a coffee, you're invited:-) I already tried to do the cutting line but I didn't like the outcome because it looked like "artificial" and, BTW, I want the rose appears almost in darkness. First attempt, the same image but I drew the hand; I didn't liked it and took a photo of my hand. The most difficult part: blood. I drew it (ink). Not sure if I'll continue this work as a series. Usually, depending of my moods, I do one thing or another. Probably I'll do more (after all I already have the splendid title you wrote:-) The coffee was delicious:-))) Love you too and thank you for inspiration.
