Embellishing Edges online workshop

I have been having a great time playing with the techniques I learned in Valerie Sjodin's online workshop. It is called Embellished Edges and it is only $15.00! As far as I know it is still running. I highly recommend it. Here is a link to her blog where you can get the details. Click Here! I have no affiliation, just a satisfied customer.
One of the things this class turned me onto is the joy of Golden Fluid acrylics. Using them sort of like water colors I have really been happy with them. Especially the transparent colors. They are just so vibrant. I am a big believer in buying the artist grade of paints as opposed to student grade, and this is a great example. Yes they are expensive, but you just can't beat the quality of the pigments. I love them!
