    Once again I’ve come to bathe in your colours (and even put a humble little bit in mine as a tribute). I’m fascinated by the way you can put pattern together and make it so seductive; I know this is not easy!

    Beautiful! This reminds me of sheets and sheets of marvelous decorative paper that are all trying to curl back into a roll despite my efforts to keep them flat. And what a great quote for this week!
    Lisa, I have a sweet award for you over at my place. Have a wonderful day!

    very clever; counting the different levels; and then the different processes you put this one through to get to where it is. Impressive
