I used a cloud filter in PS now. Here’s two more renders, going for a sky with clouds and a duotone wash with cyan and blue. ![blumi_08](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/8/e/18e57bd83b065a751c0895762a88876774a0010c.jpeg) ![blumi_09](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/4/8/348139e0cd5c11b5fc5152d665fe9df71ff9f5a7.jpeg) I see the duotone-blue and the mono-blue are the top contenders. How about these wash-options? ---

Ive never seen a yoyo look like this Im guessing in real life it would not look like a cloud. I do prefer cloud over the other one. ---

I’m pretty confident the German word for flower (Blume, of which Blumi is a belittlement by yours truly) and the English word bloom(ing) originates from the same etymological source. 🌸 ---

I’m very interested in this yoyo, I’m passionate about organic ones. If you’re interested, I’d also love to collaborate on a special release edition. I’m a Brazilian cartoonist, and it would be an honor to do a special laser engraving on this project with great potential. Furthermore, I wish you good luck with the project and if you are interested, please contact me. Best regards! 💛 ---

> [@crackout](#): > > I’m pretty confident the German word for flower (Blume, of which Blumi is a belittlement by yours truly) and the English word bloom(ing) originates from the same etymological source. 🌸 Actually, blooming evolved from the verb, bloom…. Which was derived from the original word ‘blom’….. the Norse(Norwegian) word for flower, back in the Medieval times. Eventually, the word blom made its way through Europe and including the Middle East over time. When Germany came to know and understand the word, it was adjusted slightly to fit the language. Words are amazing, aren’t they? ---
