August 2013 – Cakey Hankerson: Great Adventures

Being 3 – My Niece…

Some Lace Love

It all began with a frame. Just a simple frame. I liked the shape. It fit the naked wall I happened to have at my disposal . . . and so this project began. Now I just had to figure out what the heck I would put inside it. I took the shabby piece ofContinue reading “Some Lace Love”
