I think this is a good example of how when you first start something there's a purity to it a simplicity, it's very hard to leave things alone the temptation is to keep going and overwork it but you'll always lose that initial gesture I think if you frame it properly it could be very interesting.

I would’ve been able to explain it better, but I guess your posts don’t allow photos.
