Design

Online design classes

Have you ever wanted to learn Illustrator or Photoshop without committing to several years in an art institute or college? Not that I'm knocking the college route as that's where I put in my blood, sweat and tears to call myself a graphic designer, but everyone simply doesn't have that kind of opportunity. There are some excellent free and paid tutorials at Nicole's Classes that will teach you solid skills for using these professional level applications. 

New collage pieces

I've been working on some new collage pieces and I've switched from the Matte ModPodge product to Acrylic Matte Gel Medium. I think it just comes down to personal preference with the materials. I don't have anything against the ModgePodge mind you, I just like the "feel" of the gel medium better. I'm also experimenting with laminate paneling in this new series of collages. We got a huge piece at Lowe's which my hubby cut into multiple boards so I can create again. Flight of Fancy and Curtain Call can be found in my Etsy shop should you feel the need to adopt them.
