More Todd Oldham on Wikipedia.I love the colors this time. They're very rich. It's nothing too bright, it's just like two shades back of bright.

I got to revisit everything I'd done for the last ten years and I remembered that I just loved doing all that handwork, all that embroidery, anything by hand, ... It's really extravagant this season.
