Evening Presentation:
**We went around the room, one at a time, showing what little tricks or tips we thought were relevant or helpful.  A few things that were helpful to me were…. The use of a glue stick to add gold leaf to various pieces.  Lighter fluid is a good cleaner.  It evaporates and doesn’t leave a residue.  Elmers tape strip is easy to use.  Isopropyl alcohol will eat dried acrylic and inks.  Use a flip calendar as a stand up cheat sheet with reduced exemplars.
