RAW 1/52 - Chartres

    I've decided that 2011 would be my year of building cathedrals. Cathedrals of light, cathedrals in the sky, cathedrals of the heart, cathedrals of music and metal...

    Cathedrals being rather complex and time-consuming to build, I chose to make my first ring a reminder.. and a quick reference...
