Kuchi Koo Take Two! The Artist Tribe is featuring Kuchi Patches from Gwen Lafleur’s shop. I’ve already featured one, a small round one, in a fiber art brooch. (Interested? Click here.)

Recent visitors to RMBM know that I have been enjoying exploring art journaling. Friends have heard ad nauseam about how excited I was to take my first ever class with Kelly Kilmer at Kept Creations in Whitman, Massachusetts. Well, lovelies, I was not disappointed.
