Finished up this Peaky Blinders piece with yesterday, little bit of fresh and healed mixed in there but it’ll all blend together in the next few weeks.

Matching pieces are always great to do, especially when it's something different to the usual name or initial pieces, it's nice to have something pretty instead! 🦋👐

These lovely butterfly adornments were done by ᴍᴀʏ | ᴛᴀᴛᴛᴏᴏᴍᴀʏᴏ ✨

Just a reminder that May is away until the 7th of September so she'll be having some time away from messages, but we're always here to chat ideas.

Custom, flash & coverups all welcomed!
