Have you ever found a material you loved so much, but didn’t know quite how to use right away? This happens to me quite a lot. At the risk of sounding a little hoard-y, I’ll admit that when I see … Continue reading what’s up is down…

infinity rainbow…

May 28, 2018July 8, 2018 kineticprose

July 30, 2015October 8, 2016 kineticprose
