Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
Q: Tricia wants to know: "I would love to put all my sayings from all my companies together. I don’t see anybody else doing this so I am not confident that I will not be sorry that I did it. Any thoughts, or have you done this?"
A: Yes! No regrets. I have all my sentiments in CD cases grouped by category (everything from Art to You!) and cataloged in Evernote. I'm starting now to type out each sentiment in Evernote so they're even easier to search. The only sentiments that are not in that system are those that are very image-specific - so a sentiment like "Hoppy Birthday!" is in with the bunnies rather than the birthday stamps.

Feedback From Past Tutorials
gumnut1966 has a tip for the Alcohol Marker Marbling technique: "I bought spray isopropyl from a car, electric and other doodads type of shop here in Oz. I liked that it was a spray, so ready to go. BTW, Brushos are brilliant in gloss card too!"
