Fool's Day Who managed to invent this conundrum?
A day during which one may freely tell the truth,
confident that nobody will believe it.
Glass Heart from Outside -5 In her heart the light had clearly taken up residence. It was only beneath the coverings over her secrets that shadow remained. But for the most part, her heart was well-lit, revealing the flaws, but also somehow refreshing and renewing all that lay exposed.

They came to lean up against the glass walls and gaze into her residence to see her pain, frustration, and joys. They watched her bask in the light during the day and curl up around the fiery glow enshrined at the center when life darkened. And she seemed lonely to them, but never alone, always speaking to an invisible companion who seemed to reside within that core flame.

Sometimes an
Catching Fire - 4 As she continued to set her broken past into the fire, along with any new experiences that came along, she realized how much less she had been worrying about making people love her. The gaping need for warmth and companionship was already being filled by the flames, and the gentle advice that drifted from them helped so much in clearing the confusion of her heart.

When she looked outside, she could finally see others. So many hearts were cluttered and broken as hers had been. Some were dark, impossible to see clearly. Many shone with the same central blaze she had found, and as she watched them, she realized that they were sharing the flame.
Not Alone - 3 As the mist lifted, she looked around for a companion. Her dream people seemed hollow, now that the flames had warmed her world. How could she understand others? How could they understand her? So many shards had burned. There was enough room for someone else to visit, now.

But what if people couldn't get in?

Surely, if she built a door someone would come looking for her. She sorted through the debris, looking for anything that might help. There were several planks of good advice, and a few pieces of self-improvement that seemed sturdy enough.

I love the creativity you put into this! I find that most photomanips. on this site look exactly alike with the same subjects/emotions in mind. This piece is positive (and dare I say?) happy, which I personally think sets itself apart from most other photomanipulations on dA.

Also, I think not only did you do something different, but you also did it differently.

I love the woman-stem, and I love the idea of dancing on rained-on rose petals.

Very creative. :)

I'm not sure if you read the rules correctly, but a model stock from Elandria must be used. I have to disqualify this entry. But thanks for using the stock.

Elandria is Stem, in the rose. There are two "Flower Fairies" if you look closely. Elandria didn't have many dancing/leaping images, so I couldn't use her stock for Petal.
