    What a lovely picture you created. I learned SO MUCH about approaching “collaging” in a whole new way. It is imminently doable and less daunting than how I normally collage. Your techniques blew my mind as it exploding with new ideas. Thank you for sharing!

    So glad i found you on You Tube. I used to watch you a lot on skillshare but haven't seen you in awhile. Now that I am more into mixed media and teach a little group I am excited to see your tutorials again. You are one of the artists I most respect that I watched on Skillshare. I don't use Skillshare as much and am glad to be able to subscribe to your wonderfull work.
