Alabaster (n.): 1. a compact fine-textured usu. white and translucent gypsum often carved into vases and ornaments. 2. white and translucent like alabaster (ex. her alabaster skin)

The first in a series of wallpapers I've been thinking about for the better part of a year now. I've been really itching to do some designs, and after discovering zerochan (ooh la la~!), it'll be really fun and easy to find more amazing images to use.

Anyways, over an extended period of time (it won't be tomorrow, that's for sure), I'll eventually make 26 wallpapers, each one with a complicated, beautiful word representing each letter of the alphabet (I've already thought out a list of options for words, but any suggestions would be nice too!). The wallpapers will include the definition and will also encompass the meaning of the word into the picture. Pretty and educational, yay! :3

Anyways, these two are Clare and Teresa, two important characters in this manga Claymore I've been reading. It's really a beautiful picture. :)
