EPBCornell says:Loving these combinations, too! The palette may be largely neutral in nature, but the range & textures or tonal patterning make for lively & energizing results. I’m excited to see what you’re going to come up with next, Kymberly! So glad to have you here doing Lima Beads Fresh Picks with us!
