when you combine things together in a different way:
magna tiles, fresh flowers, a light table, and wonder
you can’t help but create beautiful art that is new, even to you.

love this! although i don’t really know what magna tiles are, i see that it all comes together beautifully and imaginative. is it somehow related to a kaleidoscope with changing colours instead of recreating patterns?
also love the sagan quote!

Try this with them outside with a magna tile on either side of a flower and hold up to the light or inside with a flashlight
