Description:This design uses two of the supplied images - No.1 as part of the background and No. 3 as part of the shell.

Delicate and elegant. This would make nice wallpaper. You should enter it in this months wallpaper gallery. The theme for this month is tranquility.

Simple elegant, LOVE the colors! I just happen to have seashells in our guest bathroom with the same blues and greens... What a beautiful print this would be! Excellent work! ~tscp

TSCP - if you want to send me an email to studio@mellowdesign.co.uk, I can send you a link to download a hi-res tif that you could get printed if you wanted? Just a thought...? Thanks for the compliments.

As has already been said, this is wonderfully elegant and delicate. The base images blend so naturally, but it's the shell set against the beautifully blended blue and green background that really does it for me. Lovely work.

Agree with all of the above. Great blending and interpretation of base images.

THANKS mellowdesign! The funny thing is: I actually have the 'perfect' place for this beautiful shell! :) I sent an email, I hope you received it. Let me know if you would like a hi-res and what size. Kind regards, ~tscp

Another very nice creation. Love the golden flowers and swirls growing out of the shell.

I love the tones, very calming. I love the repeating patterns!


From: Dennis Windt (dwindt)   (Thu Jan 24 05:12:14 2008)
This makes me think of ballet. Out of a spin, throw your arms out flicking your fingers ahead of you and leap forward. Don't laugh. I know theres a name for it. I don't know anything about ballet but I can see it, you got a name for it and mellowD created the image. See how good this image is. Even got the mellowD. Good movement and good image. Well done. Now i'm dizzy and my toes are sore.

Ah those distinctive graceful vector curves again. Beautifully done. Nice to see something so very graphic emerge from these images.

Very Wet and Wonderful! Simple and Complex at the same time. Good Job.


From: CrayonArt (CrayonArt)   (Wed Jan 30 17:24:32 2008)
Very unusual. Great background. A wonderful use of the images. Love it.


From: Joe E (popeslattz)   (Sat Feb 2 00:31:11 2008)
Elegant. I'm going to make sure a coworker of mine looks at this. He's working on some similar designs for t-shirts.


From: Barbara Garber (thebags)   (Mon Feb 4 12:55:59 2008)
Congratulations Melanie ... I knew this was a winner the first time I saw it.


From: mellowdesign (mellowdesign)   (Mon Feb 4 13:10:28 2008)
