Taking a break from the orbs (still working in the round😊) and working on a beaded pillow. These colors are to me, a beautiful combination. Subtle, tonal and calming. The front is free formed and the back is circular. Much like my helmets that I design. Helter-skelter on the one side of the brain, the Read more
