Oct/Nov/Dec Design Master Class
I am both thrilled and sad that my year-long on-line Design Master Class with Elizabeth Barton is over. I worked really hard in class and actually completed 9 of the 11 projects, purposefully chose not to complete one month because I was not enjoying my piece, and then just flat missed October’s piece.

I really loved the whole process this month of working from a piece of music, […]
