Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Thanks Jenny! We have a large Fabric/craft store nearby, I need to go there for the remaining fabric I need for the pencil/brush rolls that I'm going to make, plus material for tote bags. I hope I'm not in over my head here. I have more enthusiasm than skill, but half an ounce of optimism can go a long way


What are you using for patterns/inspiration for the pencil/brush rolls and tote bags?


Jennifer, I thought I should answer your question here so as not to take this off topic

Okay, it looks like I am going to be the lone voice of dissent on the waterbrushes.
I really don't care for them and neither do any of my kids.
I have tried to love them (REALLY, REALLY tried!) because they seem like such a neat idea--portable, neat, all-in-one. But in actual use I find them awkward and fiddly and even when I grab them first, I inevitably gravitate back to my regular brushes. The same thing happens with the kids, who find them messy and hard to control.
So, my advice is to try them and see if you like them before you invest too much. You may love them, but then again, you may not.
The kids and I much prefer to have a little mist bottle for wetting the pan colors, and a set of these super-nice student-grade brushes:Blick Wonder white brushes


Thanks Theresa thats good advice!
