    This is such an amazing piece of art. I, too, always learn from you. Your attention to detail and knowledge of how to use products beyond their standard application always inspires me. Gorgeous layering and depth of colour.

    As always your beautiful layering and artful techniques become beautiful pieces of art :) Collage is my absolute favorite art form; sometimes I get a bit down because I'm not better at it but when I watch you create a piece, somehow, in some magical way, hope bubbles up once more and you inspire me to keep trying. Thanks Rachel, just for being you xoxo

    Just found your work and really enjoyed watching you create a piece. Thank you for shareing your talent with the rest of us. As the others say what an inspiration. One question - on the You Tube video for this postcard it looked like some kind of bulb to spray the shinny finish. What is the instrument and what is the fine grained glitter? Thanks
