The story behind the enhanted sparkles in my VIDA voices collection

One of my designs in my VIDA voices collection is called Enchanted sparkles. These droplets seem to hang in midair in an impressionistic world of colors.

In 2015 my family and I were on Holiday in Eerbeek, National Park De Hoge Veluwe, the Netherlands. One day I went for a walk. I passed through woodlands with trees that seemed aged, with mushrooms and fungus on big banks of rotten trees and the smell of the forest was spicy with a twist of moisture. A fairy-like atmosphere with a deep breath of silence made me feel privileged to be there. I came across the heathlands, with hay and blue berry vegetation. A lot of morning dew was caught in the small spider cobwebs, especially between the blue berry plants. I chose a small depth of field to create the colored smudges, and only a few morning dew drops seem to be sharp. Like pearls on a wave of colors...
