Though dreams can be deceiving, like faces are to hearts,
they serve for sweet relieving, when fantasy and reality lie too far apart. Fiona Apple

    Amazing skill. i wonder how it looks like in real. Reproduced, it looks like enamels. But quilted means on fabrics doesn’t it?
    I especially like “detach” and “homage”.

    Incredibly gorgeous! Oh, my! See, now THIS is my dream of a perfect gift. I don’t need jewelry or expensive clothes. I just want someone to make me a beautiful breakfast tray in bed one day. Would this be Eve’s tray to share with Adam?
