After five years of looking for this lost piece, I picked it up today. I've periodically pulled apart our closets frustrated that I lost something so large. A few weeks ago, I was looking for a picture of it to remind the gfs what it looked like. I found one of it hanging on an unfamiliar wall.

semi-abstract art. drawing collage. pastel milky way of illustrations.
