Well today was my first Frame workshop! We had so much fun and I was so impressed with all the frames made by friends. We were a group of mostly teachers and staff I work with. It will take more than a week to share them all with you. The first up is Jill Middleton. She teaches English at Tully and she is already a theorem painter, so she took to the water color quickly. Her color choices are very strong and I love how she hand painted the flowers on the frame with Stampinup's new pretties kit!
