I have a confession to make. I used to throw a lot of my artwork and left over art supplies out. I'm not sure why. Maybe when I created something I wasn't happy with I wanted to destroy the evidence and start with a clean slate and I just saw all those left over materials as mess.

The weather is cooling down and its so nice to find a little patch of sun and make a quick little project.
