Thanks Teresa. I would like to do more crystal pieces as it fascinates me. This little basket was given to me by a friend of my Mothers from England. I have known her for more than 50 years! I’m dating myself but I have so many special pieces and I want to capture them.

Just beautiful, Marian…it looks like I can actually reach out and touch the hydrangea petals!! And the effect of the crystal container is truly amazing. I hope I get the chance to take this seminar with you!!! t.

Comment on Stencilling with Colored Pencils by Marilyne Fitzgerald

Dear Marian:
I am interested in decorating mats and I feel it adds to the painting.
I was very pleased to read and learn some of the ways that are used to decorate the mats such as: in order to get a sharper line, I need to freeze a pencil for a time to harden the point.
I painted the green apple in a class that you taught and I am so pleased with the results and I would like to frame it with a mat that would add to my piece. I thank you for the information.
I enjoy reading “how to’s” from other artists, it is a good learning tool.
