<div style="text-align: justify;">
Is there a particular painting from the 365 Days of ACEO project that you love but you prefer functional art over a painting to hang on the wall?<br />
<br />
<br />
If you would like one of my images made into a necklace, bracelet, earrings or ring please contact me. I will be happy to create a custom item for you.</div>
