While looking for WIP photos I’m also finding inspiration photos and now I am really inspired by a few pearled garments.
Finding the original source of this is proving very difficult (the photo owner is in there but where she posted it is not) but there is a great interactive exhibit! Huge photos definitely worth the effort of being stuck in the site and no static pages.
