I was able to start reworking the design practice piece that fell apart in my last post. I’m not referring to the black and fuchsia set that I photographed; I’m referring to the green and topaz set that broke as I was making it. I didn’t photograph it — it isn’t a habit of mineContinue reading “Yeah…maybe I kind of love design.”
