HAND DESIGNED TRAY
The art attack refused to be cured....and day after day the dreams had to be drawn to get a physical appearance....and also to avoid sleepless nights.
The other day I had guests at my place. I pulled out a tray to serve them snacks. I could only reach out to a soiled old one which had faded because of the frequent use.

I am pretty sure, I am happily awaiting more guests, now on... :)
