    I just finished Lesson 2. Here are my warm and cool shadings. I tried shadows on the cool example, but was not happy with them and decided to forgo shadows on the others.

      We have had good participation with challenges of a “pincushion”, and one of “any project that included a doll”. We usually announce our challenge in January with a deadline of November.

    Thank you for the extra recommendations for laundering products. Marion Scoular also recommended years ago that if you can\’t find the Ivory Flakes, make your own by shredding a bar of Ivory Soap. It goes a long way!
