I’ve been asked if students can make a different frame design for the Evil Eye Rings Class that I’m going to be teaching at BABE! this year. OF COURSE YOU CAN! I welcome it!
One of the best parts about teaching is seeing the different ways students interpret the information that they learn. So feel free to follow the directions and then modify the design to suit your taste! This will be a fun class and I expect there to be lots of creative results!
The photo above shows some of the options based on the techniques the we’ll learn in class. See you at BABE!
