A friend recently gave me some denim scraps, and last night I decided to just let myself play with the fabric. I’m surprised and delighted by the result, and it’s giving me ideas for more gradient play with denim. 😍💙 Of course I&rsqu

Pickles are a thing for me now. Apparently. ⁣ ⁣ 🥒⁣ ⁣ It started with the Pickle Self Portrait, which was a study in colors that I really didn’t like or understand at that time. ⁣ ⁣ Now? Totally into this colorway. ⁣ ⁣ At the beginning of 2024
