Here's what I did 13 years ago (2013) for $10.
The best $10 I ever spent. 

I am lucky to still live near Art Supply Warehouse, in

Westminster, CA and they still offer classes, great classes ...

If you're in the area and are not on the ASW mailing list, why?

Granted I (used to) teach for ASW and Catalyst, but regardless ...
they offer so many free and low cost classes for us.


Yval, famous graffiti artist, (google him)

Give me markers and paper and I am a happy camper. 

Give me Montana markers & paper to play for two hours ... 

I am in heaven! 


ASW gave us paper, but knowing me, I brought a bag 

of various papers,, and used a lot.

It was my first time to get to try the wide and extra wide Montana markers, and the two hours went by too fast.
I blogged about it here and here, I was hooked.

Hoping you feel all the good things in your day.

Jacki, how much would I like to live near a art supply warehouse which offers great classes. But I mustn't complain. I'm lucky to have a computer and the www which opened a new world to me after my early retirement. I found your blog with your junk mail collages. You encouraged me to try them and I made far more than a thousand! I will alway be thankful to you, Jacki.
Happy Easter!
