Tumblr Tuesday: Ornate Leather and Heart-y Charms

  Apologies for the prolonged absence! Here’s what’s inspiring me right now: I really think my entire life would be better if I could lounge in this room for a day or twenty;  I’ve really been craving a ridiculously ornate leather skirt; 3-D floating type makes me so happy; Ever since I made a clay sculpture of a heart for 8th grade biology, I’ve been partial to “true” heart shapes like this necklace; combining typography...
