EPBCornell says:Congrats on your subtle, stirring POD! I still love looking at this. It brings such a peaceful satisfaction. I’d love to play with putting these materials together, but I might enjoy just having and looking at the piece made with them more than wearing it, and keep taking it off just to play with it and hold it and reposition it in its surroundings like an art piece or sculpture.
