You will be working with acrylics and rice paper to create translucent sheets that work well with collage work, journaling, cards, art work and assemblage.  These sheets can be used if you join us for our collage butterfly class on February 22 . Another bonus is during class you will learn how to develop some simple mask and stencils from magazines, mailers or file folders.
