Twitter Art Show Twitter:140

I am part of a group of artists taking part in the Twitter Art Show here's what you need to know - it's exciting, it's a challenge and the people involved are diverse, fascinating and Worldwide.

So what is Twitter? “Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length which are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have subscribed to them (known as followers)” WIKIPEDIA

This is how thw Twitter Art Show started back in May with an online post by Sheree Rensel @wizzlewolf on Twitter:
'So what does this [Twitter] have to do with ART? Artists use Twitter like everyone else. The cool thing is that it connects artists all over the world. The members of this Twitter Art Show group are coming together and creating a proposal for an art exhibition. Once the proposal is complete, we will submit it to exhibition venues in hopes of exhibiting our work all over the world. In order for this to come to fruition, we all must work together as a cooperative group. We can do this. Our vision can become reality if we work together to make it happen.'

Well, after much work and layering (140 layers actually) here is my contribution to the Twitter Art show:
