Looking down on two hands, with a dark wood table in the background. The hands are holding a 3D patchwork dodecahedron star, with each side a different colour (from the angle of the photo you can see green, pink, purple, blue, grey and yellow). It is small, and held in fingertips.
First 2025 patchwork finish

So so.good
