A few friends and I spent a couple of hours doing a creative textural art workshop with Ruby Purple at my home last week. It was such fun, every one loved it. We loved the creative freedom of expressive flow. With no experience in any of these mediums I gained a wealth of knowledge and new skills. It was fun too!  Jeannine
