The more I dig into the world of creative faith, the more I find! So far, I’ve focused on beginners–tips and tricks for getting started because that is where I am.

She’s super nice and friendly, willing to answer any questions you might have (she gave me permission to post some of her samples here.)

And look! She even teaches how to color the edges of a book:
