One of my favourite things to do is to spend hours (or days)
obsessively altering copyright-free artworks using Photoshop.
Cutting, copying, pasting, tinting, erasing, layer after layer...
This particular print was originally a bee botanical print
from The amazing Graphics Fairy, Karen.
I de-bumble-bee'd it and I thought you might like it.

Granted, the original bees (who were smoked out) were very lovely, but those

Good to know I'm not alone in altering. I spend hours deleting nodes in Inkscape to get some thing just the way I want it. Thanks for this wonderful print!
Thank you, Mel! This is lovely.

You are so good with Photoshop! Wonderful work! Glad to see you on the blog! :)
These are so lovely. I think that vintage flowers are my favorite images. Thanks for sharing!
The "stars of the show, indeed!" I've been looking for art for a personal project for many months and, sans a working naming convention I've just thrown-in an exclamation point where I really like something. Your work has the distinction of being the first to have not one, but two of these, as in, "!OMG Perfect!" Then I realized you'd been so kind as to provide multiple backgrounds and I think my head exploded. There really is something about the easy elegance of this piece. If only I'd found your site eight months ago!
