  10. Oh I would love to take this Metal folding class. This sounds so exciting. And the idea of having it on DVD is wonderful. I have limited internet and it's hard to have to watch them over and over again online. I'd like to be able to have the DVD to watch anytime.

  22. I have been looking at the classes for awhile- I saw your cuff bracelet and LOVE it! That would be a second choice but I would really like to take the mixed media resin class. I bought some resin a while ago but haven't been brave enough to try it yet. Oops-forgot my email. nmarkosky(at)comcast(dot)net

  30. This giveaway is the first that has ever lured me out from lurking status. I took several days with Kim St. Jean last spring, and it was wonderful. We weren't able to use a torch in the class situation, so I would love her Foldforming DVD. I have reread her book so often, I think it is falling apart. A close second I would like is the enamel torching class. Too bad I don't twitter or have a blog!
