I'd love to take it. I took a class with you years ago. You have no idea how much you inspired me. I was a teacher at the time and taught my high school art students some of your techniques. The results were amazing! I think I have some examples somewhere. When I find them, I'll send them along if you are interested. Thank you!

Wouldn't finding out that I won a free class be a delightful surprise to brighten up the day? I'm really hoping that if the Mabel is choosing via walking across the list of names in honey dipped boots, then, the boots stick to my entry. If not me, then the person from the Netherlands, just because that would be a neat thing too. :-)

Love to take your class. Now for a little humour-did you know your Multi-medium jar bares a distinct resemblance to my Oil of Olay face cream-especially when I don't have my glasses on. I wasn't feeling too good for a couple days and I was playing while I rested in bed. I will say no more!

I am a shameless "Claudine junkie"...I have your two collage books and have been dabbling with your techniques nearly every day. Sadly, I am having only about 50% luck with the rinse aid release technique. How watery do I want my acrylics? It does seem to work when they are more water than paint and really runny. Does this sound right?
