Having Traci here in the studio in November inspired this whole book club thing into existance. The book Collage Unleashed is full of techniques that have added new dimension to my personal art. I know those who attended Traci’s workshops feel the same. There is something so freeing in her style. We, as a group, will continue to explore and experiment with the techniques she shares in her book. There is also an online yahoo group already set up for people who love the style
