    Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
    Q: Patti asks: " Can you share a tip for crafting on a limited budget?"
    A: Instead of buying embellishments like enamel dots or rhinestones in every color, look for white or clear ones. These can be colored with alcohol markers to match your project.
     
    Feedback From Past Tutorials
