MEETING 3/26/11 - FOLLOW-UP / Tips Handout

A while back we asked all our chapter members to submit tips and hints and favorite techiques to use while working with colored pencil. Click on the image to link to a dowloadable/printable PDF doc of our compiled list of tips. This is a great asset to our chapter - use it wisely! ;)

Sales Event at Daniel Smith (online)

I received an email from Daniel Smith - They are having a 40% off sale until March 7th. However, one needs the code W4TMARCH that goes on the final order screen. Just thought others should know.
