  1. An impressive video....I loved it! Thank you for all the info and up-close look at your skillfully demonstrated work. The Post-It masking was intriguing to me as I always wondered how such a delicate look was achieve with just sponging. You are so generous to take the time to make a video so less skilled crafters, like me, can learn so much. Have a happy holiday season!
