This is gorgeous - the rose

Posted on Fri, 08 Jul 2016

This is gorgeous - the rose lines in particular. Can I make a suggestion to steer away from some cliches like 'lit up every room'? The rest of your lines are so well crafted you could go for something more obscure.

Posted on Thu, 07 Jul 2016

I think there's loads to love in here. One bit I thought you could change would be
