Finished my painting! Insects are gay icons.

An oil painting of a bunch of butterflies lined up vertically each a different color creating a rainbow. They are painted onto a textured off-white background. The painting is extremely gay.

A lot of you know that I adore a fancy dress with puff sleeves and a good spin. I鈥檓 trying to look into the ethics of the company Lace Made since they want to work with me. So far, I can鈥檛 find anything about their ethics which is a little suspicious. Does anyone know anything about this company?

I feel like Gandalf getting Bilbo to go on an adventure every time I get a friend who hates the outdoors to look for insects with me.
