Understand the power of Edgework to make your tangles look 3-dimensional




I absolutely loved this new lesson. It's a totally fun concept. It's been a long time since there's been color and I'm really happy about that. I'm going to do more of them after other colors. Can't wait to do the rest of the lesson.
