Like I said, it was a stretch for me, but a fun new adventure. I am sad to see this class end. It has provided such a wealth of information, inspiration and support. I know I will need some time to re-read and digest all that we were given in the last five weeks. Many of the classmates are signed up for Part B already. I hope to be able to do that as well. But there are some life circumstances that I have to figure out and process before I can commit to that. Fingers crossed that I can make it work. ... In the meantime, I'd love to hear what you think of this piece since it is way outside my normal style.

Ahhh.... this was the last week of Lilla Rogers Make Art That Sells class. It was bittersweet for sure. This week's focus was on the Gift market. Wow! The possibilities are endless!

This was waaaay outside my comfort zone, but really fun. I tweaked out the colors of the components and then pieced them together into an "ink blot" type pattern. Here's the end result:
