a newsletter about current events & updates

Greetings!

I have no idea why I chose to put a picture of a flamingo in today's eNews. I looked for February inspirations and found ooey gooey stuff. Suddenly a group of flamingos found their way into my search and I decided I would share. I think flamingos have smile appeal. So here's a smile for you! Enjoy! Hyla

I will have small commercial plates and plates to share. Optional to bring some acrylic paint in colors you would like to work with and any of your favorite stencils and texture materials ex: bubble wrap, lace... All other materials will be provided .
