I first discovered her art on Etsy, and then bookmarked and visited her blog often. Besides seeming like a warm and friendly person, I found her art so very inspiring.
I bought her book last week while shopping for crafting supplies and immediately purchased all the extras so I could attempt to make a 'Kelly Rae' collage of my own.
This was my first attempt. It's on a small 8x8 canvas, I was too intimidated to try a face on the first one... but have a feeling that it will be the first of many. I had so much fun making it and even though I am still planning on purchasing an actual piece of Kelly Rae's art, I am so thankful that she's such an awesome teacher and willing to share her skills and talent with us all! :)
