This was the FrontPage from Etsy for some time!
I made this treasury.
It will expire tomorrow (thursday)
I picked my favourite gray (and some red) items and combined them in a nice way.

Mixko and chatting

This is a lamp
hanging at Proef in Rotterdam
Today I was chatting on Etsy, and during checking the shops
I recognized this lamp.
I've made this photo last week.
Go take a look at the other beautifull things they make:
Even butterfly rings!
