Very nice and wintery. Love the soft focus and the colors. The hands are in the form of a heart. Great work. Ten.

Comment by K3Master:
She presented it with such feeling, in hands covered with a fabric of a white that was almost unnatural, like it was impossible that they could even be there. Cupped within that brilliance was the object of her offering, a candy apple shade of sparkling wonder, capped with gold and flecked with a texture that grabbed the light and scattered it sparklingly.

As she held it out, her eyes showed a touch of smile, but also poured out in hope and pleading. Would I purchase this thing, so lovingly displayed? Would I help feed her this night, or perhaps give her more coin towards finding a warm place to sleep.

So I smiled and reached into my pocket and produced a handful of coin, and exchanged it for that simple thing, the offering made so seemingly full of innocence and charm, and knew that I was most likely a sucker for doing so, but not caring for that moment. Who was to know her real story? Who was to really say what fate held in store for her, but for that one brief moment I could pretend that I had helped move her towards something better, and the magic of that offering stayed in my heart.

Oh how perfect! The crispness of the bulb against the softness of the gloves is stunning.
