IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


        It is the view, from the outside,from the window of a cottage house,in
it mantelpiece there is a little flowerpot with a bonsai surrounded by
butterflies.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


       I have only been working 20 hours distributed in five days. I was not
sure in taking part in this competition due to the lack of time, I started
handling with flattened spheres to create the butterflies wings , once I saw
the result quite accurate I thought where to set the butterflies,of course, I
should have placed them in the fields but because I have not much time to try
out . I made up my mind with an attractive idea which was to reflect the
landscape in the window.
With this attractive  idea I resolve  the problem of the lack of time.I have
saved with this to put in my drawing trees and even the grass. Another probem
was to place the butterflies and because I was working with the wonderful
"Trees.inc" of Sonya Roberts, it came to my mind the idea of setting a bonsai
with flowers on the mantelpiece of the window surrounded by butterflies.
Once  all the objects have been placed  and with only one day left of the
handing, I have started to look for appropiate textures for them, since I could
not detail any of the bricks. I have decided to make little changes in their
texture, and concerning the butterfly, I have used the texture "
Whait-Marble"., I am not very proud of the final result, but I think it is
quite acceptable so  in the end I will send it to you.
