Your recipes are fantastic and I print them all out and keep them in a binder for future reference. I have done the Maggie Maggio course but still have trouble &#8220;seeing&#8221; which color to use to match a particular palette. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Your recipes have really spelled it out for me&#8230; and makes me less intimidated to try it, now I have the gusto to give it a go and I am really enthused about it. My husband wants to know if you give cooking lessons too&#8230; since I am so excited about clay recipes now, he wants me to be this excited about being in the kitchen.
