A little less than a year ago, I took an online class at "My Creative Classroom." This class introduced me to Copic markers. These markers have been used for years by illustrators and anime artists. Recently, in the past couple of years, they have found their way into the card making and scrapbook markets.
Two weeks ago my friend Ginny and I found out that our applications had been accepted to be "Copic certified" in Jacksonville. What this means is, after store owners, their staff, publications, home party instructors have all been accepted, if there are any spots left in the class of 25, they will pull names off of the waiting list. Which is where they found Ginny and I, on the waiting list hoping to be accepted. Huge coincidence is...my online instructor is the Southern region certification instructor so she will be doing my certification. The reason I am telling you all of this, I have started a second blog, geared toward my Copic adventures. I have enclosed the link and hope that you will pop in occasionally to check out my progress. Once, and if, I get certified, I will be certified to teach Copics. This is very exciting stuff!! We will be listed on their website as certified instructors. People looking for Copic instructors can just contact us through the website. If they need people to demo for them at shows and conventions, etc. we may be called on to help out in a booth. Anyway, I am pretty excited as it is just days away. So, keep peeking in here and take a peek over there.
