Origami Dresses

I tried on a holder, but this folding is better on 2D decorations as the folding does not seamlessly cover the back.

Selling Tees & Tops

A ‘Thank you’ card can be very generic, but for my friend’s sale of imported tees and blouses, I decided on these as they reflect her product:

Prose

Time flies faster than the winter bleeze,

Over the flowing river,

And among the lushes green.

As the cheerful spring & flowing summer goes,

Autumn leaves turn red and gold.

Let not the winter sadden you,

For I’ll always be there for you.
