Many thanks due for your fabulous artwork. It makes a striking accompaniment to my piece. I joined fanart in order to be able to review and give your well-deserved stars. Credit in my footnotes as well. Cheers. LIZ

Back to thank you for use in my piece BEYOND ALL HOPE OF REPAIR--a parody of twisted pomposity, hence the spirals. Cheers. LIZ

Impressive work Helvi and the gumball machine do look electrified and also like so much fun to watch as they spiral downward into your hand! Imagine they come out glowing! Nice frac addition to give the gumball machines the touch they needed! Awesome!

Really well done. Unusual subject matter and lots of contrast for the image. I like the gumballs, but have you considered making them multi-coloured like they really are. The spiraling is great. thanks for sharing

Comment from Angelheart The First


Finally...I can give you the six star rating that you most definitely deserve for this
outstanding and very unique
mixed media composition!I love the brilliant colors in this and the fact that you turned one into three was such a good idea.You really have a mastered touch when you apply the frac filter to any work.
Brilliant~
Angelheart :)

I would put my money in to play with these! (and I don't care for gumballs!) Nice use of the filter, light handed, and perfect. Donkeyoatey

    They are pretty cool aren't they?....and I'm NOT talking about the effects I added! I loved the gumball dispenser when I saw it! LOved the swirly-whirly effect. Thank you for the sensational 5.5 review my friend. YOUR praise means everything! :o) Helvi
Comment from Anne


This is fascinating the way you have done this one. I like the way you have the machines in the picture. The filter sure makes them interesting. The way you have the light on them is excellent. An interesting and excellent picture.

    Hi Anne, Thank you for the wonderful review. When I started the gumball machines were all white so I loved the color the Fractalius filter added. I'm thrilled you enjoyed this. I know from my side it was fun to do! LOL :o) Helvi
Comment from Rivergirl51


This is really cool the way you added the special effects. I'll never look at a gumball machine the same again! Good color and detail.

    Hi Norma, Thanks my friend for the wonderful review. Never thought I'd post a picture of a gumball machine! I have to say though it was FUN! :o) Helvi

This is so neat.
Like that there are three.
Like the vertical lines of the three machines, the coiling lines, the patterns of the gumballs, the effect the filter has, the glowing lights, the colors and how you did the backround.
Great creative shot.
