WELCOME!
WELCOME!
I'm so happy you're here, love. This is a little workshop I put together for 21 Secrets in 2011. Here is how it works: I have posted all six videos in this space, allowing you to follow along as quickly or as slowly as you like. You can scroll down to see them or find the workshop index in the left-hand column of the site. (This index will always be in that location, no matter what part of the site you are on, for super easy access.) The total running time for all the videos is about 30 minutes. Please note that the password for all videos is shine12. There is an accompanying PDF, yours to download, print, and keep, and you can access it by clicking the button below:
Check to see if you have the materials below. All of these are suggestions and can be substituted by whatever you have on hand: tempera paint, catalogues, your fingers, etc. I would actually suggest that, after going through all the prompts once, you try the techniques again with different materials!
