Crystal rose

A rose manipulation for many days I was in search for the perfect rose no matter of the colour to make a rose manip from... and couldn't find a stock rose which fired my inspiration / matched what I hoped to find, no matter what!

Than when looking in one of the many clubs I am in if I would find some new faves... I stumbled upon ~melanie12271994s wonderful rose
Oh what a shame.. the perfect rose I was looking for but no stock .
When faving and commenting, I mentioned how much I wished that this rose would be stock.. and guess what happend??!! She was so kind to permit me to manipulate her rose
thanks so much, hope you like the result, as much as I enjoyed making the manip

Here is the second manip fro the same rose:
