Truchet (screen print, 5x7in.) *one of the frames is broken so I can just send both prints in one frame, or just the prints.
Hey everyone! So I have some #mathart that has been sitting in storage and I’d love to give it away to anyone who is interested. Just cover the cost of shipping and it’s yours! DM me if any of the pieces in this thread are of interest. Notes on a triangle (cardstock, 9x9in)
