I Love Patterns
Posted by Susan von Borstel- 0 CommentsSusan von BorstelSusan von Borstel has not set their biography yetUser is currently offlineIf you've been following my blog you know I love patterns. Don't you?

Some are calming, some upsetting. Some are really beautiful. The first thought I had upon seeing the pigeons before I knew what they were was, "it looks alive". I thought the airplanes were embroidered fabric. Great fun!
