Been playing with colors lately. Browns and blue, brown and pink, navy blue and different greens; this is what I got.

Just made this today and I am all smiley about it. Who knows, maybe tomorrow I will not be anymore. This is on the heart medalion principle: you can give both, keep both or give half of the heart to someone you love. Coul be a nice Valentine’s Day gift, even though I am not [...]
