  Perhaps you've started to pull your own kit together, but maybe it's missing that somethin' somethin'!  This is when you need to add your own handcrafted touch with a handmade forgery.  Let's see what kind of tutorials are available from your Master Forgers this month.

Leslie has a few homemade goodies this month HERE.
