I absolutely loved this class and learned so much. Sandy does an excellent job of providing clear instruction and also giving many tips for how to customize, make repeatable patterns and use the motifs in different ways. The progressive lessons allowed me to build confidence and also learn how I wanted to adjust the design with my own touches. It was fun to use different mediums to color the designs. Wonderful course, and a great value for a very reasonable price.
