Hi Maarit
I think the first image is stunning, it has just the right quality of mystery and allure. Very well done indeed.
Both are super-duper-awesome. And very different from each other. That´s really all there is to say ;)
Nice to see you´re so busy again!
Two very cool images. I love the way you work patterns into your work. Beautiful.
And yeah, shiny stuff is a pain to scan.
