Free Lettering Lesson!

September is a time for those harvest apples, brand new notebooks, and a fresh new start for those in the school age years. I don't know about you, but I also get in the mood for the classroom when fall rolls around...

Many of you may have been wondering what my lettering classes are all about.
I am offering a free lesson, for those of you who would like to try some of my creative lettering.

If you would like one of my free lessons, please e-mail me directly, and I will send you a file a.s.a.p.!!!

Inspired by some illustrations from a children's book that a young friend named Selina lent our family, I thought I would draw my version of a faerie....hope you like it, Selina!

This is a 4x6 postcard that I made for a swap. One of my first attempts at collage - not as easy as it looks! I was happy with the end result, I wanted it to have a soft, gentle feel.
