Hello!  Winter here in Arizona means that we are experiencing weather that resembles most people's summers!  It is still well into the 70s here in the desert, and this California girl is ready for some rain and cozy nights by the fire! (But not snow--ack! Now that's just too cold for this Calizonian! haha!) Hop on over to The Crafter's Workshop blog where I'll show you how to create a bright, textured background.  I'll also show you how to draw and shade in a portrait with a stencil--no drawing experience necessary!

If you're new here, welcome! :) Leave me a comment and let me know what your favorite thing is about winter (or if you are not into winter, what is your favorite time of year?) Looking for more learning opportunities? Check out my class schedule to see if I'm teaching in your area (or request for me to come to your city)!  You can also browse through the past blog posts for more tutorials and videos!
